“David inquired of God….God answered him”
What are some ways in which you have spoken to me in the past?
How have I quenched your Spirit when you wanted to speak to me?
Is there anythign I’m doing now that is quenching your Spirit?
How have I limited the ways in which you’ve desired to speak? How?
What can I do to better hear your voice?
After doing the listening Prayer journal for a week. I realize how crazy my life can be. I struggle with just getting things done and have the time for just sitting down. Plus there are many distractions that come up. It was interesting to me yesterday becuase I was really struggling because I was scolded by my principal at school here. It made me feel really horrible. I could not concentrate on the Listening Prayer, but I did it anyways. I was having a pity party for myslef. I prayed that God would just put people in my life to help me out. I had a friend come by and ask if I wanted to go for a walk that evening. I even was able to eat with her and her husband. God placed someone in my life to take me out of my dark place that I was in. This morning I went to Savery with the same friend and went on a walk. I was able to just talk to two other people and it helped boost my spirits. I know that God has spoken to me and that is a great example. I just have a hard time sitting down and getting to the point that he wants me to be at.
The thing I really learned from today’s questions was that God has spoken to me through dreams. I have dreams and forget them. Later on I will feel like I have done this or that before. It is reafirming to me that it is what I need to do. I feel that I quench God’s ability to talk with me by not taking the time and waiting patiently on him.
I was wondering if anyone has a hard time with doing the listening prayer online. I struggle with this and I at times wonder if maybe we could set up a conference call and discuss it that way. I feel that it is very impersonal and that way we could keep each other more accountable and invest in each others lives. It is just a suggestion and I know we are all super busy so it may not work. Just respond and tell me what you think.
