Hi there!
It’s been such a long while. I have been away because I had been battling with a decision that I was not sure whether it was time for or not……………..Hmn it has been a very revealing time for me learning that God’s ways are not our ways. Our God is faithful. I think I will save that for my next post.
How has your walk with God been? Do you hear from him? As children of God we sometimes find it difficult to hear God. Not because he is not speaking but because we decide to be far from him by ignoring his communication.
We are able to understand our friend’s, hubby’s, kid’s, etc communication with us because we have taken the time to understand them, their feelings and methods of communing with us. The same way we learn to hear our husbands, kids, friends and family so also we need to develop our communication with God. Like we were taught in Sunday school those days, prayer is meant to be a communication i.e. a 2 way thing. I also confirmed from the dictionary that other words with the same meaning as communication are interaction and exchange of ideas. Therefore prayer is you talking to God and God also talking back to you. You discussing and consulting Him and He filling you back with divine ideas, comfort, love and every message you need for your every day living. Isn’t that great?
My question then is: How do you pray?
Do you give God the chance to talk to and with you or do you just rattle out your concerns to him since He just has to fix them as His word says?
Do you know what his plans are for you?
Do you care to find out what makes him tick on a day to day basis?
Do you care to find out how you can be of help to him?
Do you care to know if you have hurt him?
Do you care to know if he needs you badly to help fix something?
Do you care to ask Him to know what will make Him happy so you can do it?
God has his needs that can only be met by you……………………….He created you for that purpose and He is waiting on you to get the line by line directional map of what to do and how to do it. He needs you to make His Kingdom come here on earth so give him a chance to talk to you.
Like a friend you can see, he misses you when you have been away for a while and it hurts that even when you are back all you want to do is ask and then leave without hearing from Him.
Give the Father a chance to speak and I’m sure your life will never remain the same again.
You are blessed.
