INSPIRASUNS

I wonder how many of you are like me. Well that question could go in a couple of different directions couldn’t it? What I mean is, how many of you have a hard time just listening for the answer to prayers? Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to hear what Father may be trying to tell me.

When I face challenges, good or bad and I ask Jesus to sit next to me and help me discern what I’m supposed to do, of course I don’t always hear an answer. Many times actually, I don’t feel like I know for certain what I’m to do. The hardest part is of prayer sometimes is just being quiet and listening to what He says.

Have you ever been to a lunch or dinner with someone you don’t know very well? If you are like me you don’t like it when the conversation goes silent. It’s uncomfortable not having conversation, I find myself just grasping at things to talk about. I guess sometimes I do the same thing with Father, I don’t want to just “be” in the quiet with Him. I’m looking to make “small talk” so to speak to see if I can find the answer I’m looking for.

Well, as I thought about it this morning I realized that there are times when I need to just be quiet and let our Lord do what He is going to do. I need to truly turn things over and tell Him that I trust Him in whatever way He guides me. I also need to be open to hearing the answer to the prayers I lift, because the answer may not be what I want or expect to hear.

Yes, the being quiet is the hardest part of prayer sometimes. But…I think it’s necessary and I’m going to do my best to make time for it. Maybe this afternoon I’ll just carve out some time to just sit and listen with Father.

Have a good day my friends. Please lift some special prayers for my friend Colleen, her mom went to be with Jesus yesterday, we’re never ready to lose our moms 😦 .

Be still, and know that I am God.
