Most of us know what it means to take our prayers to God (at least in theory anyway), but this week I’ve been pondering and contemplating and working through the idea of listening to God in my prayer time. It’s not natural–at least not to me. I can pour out my requests and praises and confessions with no problems. Every once in awhile I even manage a prayer or two for someone else. ;o)
But stopping and listening? That’s a whole other story. Even when I try I find my ind wandering and before you know it I “wake up” and realize I didn’t hear much at all…at least not from God. And it’s certainly not His fault!
So that’s the discipline I’m working on this week…trying to focus my attention on God and hearing His voice. Trying to become attuned to the Spirit of God (which He promised) and getting in tune with Him. It’s not easy…but nothing worth doing really is right?
So pray for me this week that I will be learn and practice His presence. And I’ll pray the same for you. Maybe together one of us will hear Him this week. ;o)
