Lord help me be a good listener. Help me to wait patiently. Help me to have the right attitude. Amen
Listen
Lord forgive me for my haste.
Talking to you then running not waiting for an answer what a waste.
It seems lately I talk at you allot never with you as I should.
Acting as if talking to you is enough to make me good.
Forgive me Lord for my attitude.
I have a change of heart I come in gratitude.
Here I will sit at your feet and listen.
Even if the world screams and shouts look at what your missin.
Nothing means more to me than you.
No one's words can change me, fill me, thrill me as yours do.
You are my God, my King, my Everything.
With my whole heart from now on I will wait and listen to you.
The Silent Type
Sometimes I don't hear anything from God. I can't say I blame Him for being silent at times. After all, I start talking at Him from early morning and don't shut up until I go to sleep. I've been talking at Him not with Him. Then God who is abundantly longsuffering with me, who knows me so well knows that I would probably go huh? who me? are you kidding? you want me to do what? But Lord that's to hard! I haven't got time now Lord. Yet Everyday I find myself wanting to hear from God. Why should He want to talk with me when I don't always do what He says. Or when my attitude is wrong, like when after I do my morning devotions, I say well I talked to God so I am a good girl. Then I run on about my day and don't even wait to see if He wanted to speak. When I talk to God or ask Him about something and I don't wait for an answer, or I wait all of five minutes then say times up Lord I have to go or I wont get anything done today. Why should He speak to me when I treat Him like this? Yet He loves me and He still talks to me but only when I sit down and really listen with my heart in the right place.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss....part of James 4:3 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33
