| Silence |
 I've realised why I struggle with private prayer and Bible study. I think of stillness, silence, 'nothingness' as time wasted.
I don't mind silence, but that stillness, doing nothing doesn't come naturally to me. Conversation needs to be two-way (although blogging and talking to myself regularly aren't really two-way, are they?), and God not aurally audible, which is why I find prayer hard. I'm not a brilliant listener, but I'm not completely incompetent at it either. But in prayer, I can't hear an answer.
I guess I need to be more patient. Slow down. Stop the busyness. Turn down the sound and listen for that still, small voice out there.
This is not going to be easy by any means.
Any suggestions, hints, tips, advice? See, that's why I like blogging - there's usually a response!
Happy weekend, everyone! |
