Yes. That's the part we often miss. We pray for God to move, but we don't prepare the room. We ask for His presence, but we leave the space cluttered. We want Him to work, but we don't create an environment where His work can actually land. The Shunammite woman didn't just admire Elisha from a distance. She didn't just say "God bless you" as he passed by. She built him a room. She gave him a place to rest. A table. A lamp. A chair. She made it possible for him to stay. That's the kind of hospitality God is looking for—not just emotional openness, but prepared space. A life arranged around His presence, not just His occasional visits. You're right. Recovery teaches that environment matters. So does spiritual formation. You can't keep living in chaos and expect peace to move in. You can't keep your schedule packed and wonder why you don't hear His voice. You can't leave the door to your heart wide open to everything and expect His presence to feel at home. Make room. · A time set aside. · A heart that's been cleared out. · Habits that prepare the soil instead of hardening it. · A life arranged around the reality that He lives here, not just passes through. When we do that—when we build the room—we stop asking God to shout over our noise and start being able to hear Him in the stillness. Thank you for this. A beautiful reminder that preparation is part of devotion. 🙏
