Still Small Voice

God speaks to us in a still small voice (most of the time), are you listening?

I didn't want to hear God for the majority of my life, I wanted what I wanted and when I wanted it. It wasn't about what God was saying, it was about what I wanted. I wanted my cake and I wanted to eat it all. I ran my own life, I ran away from God, I ran away from what He wanted for me. I reacted, I shut Him out, because I didn't want to hear what He was saying to me. I did my own thing and in doing my own thing I caused a lot of hurt and pain. I said what I wanted to say, I did it my way and I found out my way was not God's way.

I have talked a lot about my struggles and the hard points of my life. I have spent time going over where I was, but God was faithful through it all. He brought me to where I am today, He continues to make me. I have found that I need to allow Him time to speak to me, that I need to be willing to have a heart of prayer, a heart of thanksgiving, a heart surrendered to His will.

Do you talk with God more then just at meal time? Do you sit in silence to soaking His love in? Prayer is not just for one time each day, it is having a heart that is open to hearing God. Are you just reaching Him when there is trouble? It is time to change your prayer to not just in the hard, but in all the times. Our minds are complex tools, but do we use them to there full potential? I think we are at constant change and God is teaching us through it all, are we listening?

Today I want to challenge you, instead of talking with God when it is best for you, talk with God in it all. When you are in your car, when you are sitting at your desk, or just sitting. Thank Him for the sun, thank Him for the storms, thank Him in all things. We are so busy, we have forgotten how to pray. If you find your mind constantly thinking, then you can pray more and more. Stop thinking prayer is about being on your knees and start realizing that Jesus is closer then your best friend, He wants to hear from you in all situations, He is right there with you. Talk to Him, just as your thoughts are in your head, He is right there with you. Take the time to thank Him, be intentional in your time you talk with God.

Lord, let me be intentional in talking with you, let me sit and hear you, let me listen to Your still small voice, let me start allowing You to work in me. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and allow me to be the person I need to be with You. Let the thoughts in my head become fewer, so that You Lord can become more. Let me allow You to change me not just for today, but every moment of each day. Let me see what You have for me in this time. Let the channel be open between me and You daily. Thank You for showing me this and allow me to be more like You.
