It was about 4 AM early Friday morning, and I woke from my sleep. A few negative things weighed on my mind, and I wanted to pray and get them out of my heart. As I started to do that, I found myself talking to God more freely than I ever had before.

I might’ve talked for an entire hour. When I was done, I told God, “OK, I’m gonna listen now to see what You speak to my heart,” and then I immediately started talking again! I laughed at myself because it took a long time for me to get to this space—where I could just freely talk to God, where I was submitting my will every day, being totally honest.

Talking to God is like being off the record. Off the record is when a conversation is private, confidential, and not meant to be shared with others. It’s raw and unfiltered. In the same way, prayer isn’t always the formal kind we pray in church or in front of people. It’s an intimate conversation, just between you and God. There’s no pretending, no putting on a show. It’s where you pour out your heart, submit your will, and seek Him in truth. I want to encourage you to start living a life where you talk with God off the record—just you and Him, building a relationship that’s rooted in pure honesty and intimacy.

If you haven’t been reading my blogs for a while, then you know that I have some eye issues. After that time with God, I wrote down the title Off the Record, but I promise you, it looked like Morse code! I could hardly decipher it, and if the Lord hadn’t brought it back to my remembrance, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.

At the end of the day, it’s not about saying the right words or presenting ourselves a certain way. It’s about being real with God. There’s a beauty in being vulnerable, in speaking freely and truthfully, knowing that no one else needs to hear it but Him.
