Often we have been taught that prayer is petitioning our wants to God. We have not practiced LISTENING TO GOD nearly enough. He is eager to speak to us, but we are the ones who don’t know how to listen or claim to not have the time to do so.
Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. It’s a two-way communication. God’s voice is the most essential part of life’s journey. When we listen to God’s voice as we pray, it gives us confidence that He,too, is listening to us.
But God cannot be heard in noise and restless; only in silence. Until we take time to be quiet, we will not hear God. “Be Still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10)
“Thus God used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend” Exodus 33:11. Moses was not only a leader, he was also a listener. He was in communication with God in each step of his long journey. Like Moses, we need to experience life’s journey in conversation with our Creator.
