All in God’s Voice in Prayer
Do we stand at the ready, listening for God’s voice? Do we wait upon the Lord in this manner? We know instinctively that God is with us always, but sometimes we forget that He isn’t just there to serve us... He is also waiting to hear our voice. When we cry out to Him, when we joyfully sing to Him, when our pain and suffering leave our mouths like sorrowful moans... He waits for us. As we speak to Him in proper prayer He responds with mercy, grace, and yes, judgement too.
Do we speak WITH God in prayer or simply TO Him? Does His voice come to us and direct us, or do we approach Him with a list of wants and demands then follow them quickly with “Amen” and without pausing to listen to what He has to say? If God isn’t speaking to us then perhaps we need to first believe that He will, and that He desires to. Not believing that God wants to have a conversation with us is an indication that we don’t really know Him as we should. Speaking to Him in prayer but not listening to His response is not a conversation, no, it is a lecture or a monologue and is this how we pray today? If it is then we are demonstrating that we don’t value what He has to say.
