If It Matters to You, It Matters to God

Many believers walk through life thinking God is only concerned with the "big things"—world events, natural disasters, wars, and global revival. While He is indeed sovereign over nations and galaxies, He is also lovingly attentive to the quiet cries of your heart. That little burden you’re carrying? The one that seems too small to bring up in prayer? It matters to God.

🔹Nothing Is Too Small for Your Heavenly Father

Lord Jesus once said that not a single sparrow falls to the ground without the Father noticing (Matthew 10:29). Right after that, He adds something even more personal: “The very hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:30). Just think about that—God knows how many strands of hair are on your head at this very moment. Could a God so involved in the smallest detail of your being ever ignore your concerns?

We tend to categorise problems: “This is worth praying about. This isn’t.” But God doesn’t see it that way. If it touches your heart, it touches His. Whether it's a child struggling with school anxiety, a broken appliance when you can't afford repairs, or that one friend who suddenly went silent—He sees, He knows, and He cares.

🔹A Story of Socks and a Loving Father

One evening, as we were getting ready for church, my daughter Abigail (who was then around four years old) couldn’t find her favourite pair of socks. It might seem trivial to an adult, but to her, it meant everything. She stood in the corner, near tears. At that moment, I paused and said, “Let’s pray and ask Jesus to help us find the socks.” Within a minute, we found them tucked under a cushion. Her eyes lit up—not just because the socks were found, but because she realised that Lord Jesus cared about her socks.

That evening, she told everyone at church, “Jesus helped me find my socks!” You see, that’s how your heavenly Father is. He doesn’t wait for your problems to reach a certain level of severity before He steps in. He is a close Father, involved in every detail of your life.

🔹You Are Always On His Mind

Psalm 139:17 says, “How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” God’s thoughts about you are constant. When you’re happy, He celebrates with you. When you’re anxious, He leans in to comfort you. When you feel insignificant, He reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Jeremiah 29:11 isn’t just a feel-good verse. It’s a promise: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” These plans include both the major milestones and the tiny moments of your day.

🔹Invite Him Into Every Area

Sometimes we struggle unnecessarily because we’ve left God out of the details. Let Him in. Invite Him into your daily routines, your emotional struggles, your business decisions, and even your wardrobe choices if they cause you stress! Nothing is off-limits with Him. He wants you to lean on Him as a child leans on a loving parent.
