Posted by “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, lest we drift away.so that we do not drift away.” Hebrews 2:1
Sometimes our prayer time can be a constant flow of our own thoughts and words rushing like a river toward God, without spending a moment to wait on His response.
At times, we seem to be the pilot at the controls of our own prayer plane, flying wherever we wish and sometimes landing at no place in particular.
The practice of quietly waiting for God’s thoughts and words will gradually take us away from all that activity and verbal clutter.
Surrendering ourselves to God’s will, allowing His desires to flow into our heart, will certainly change our perspective of life in general.
It’s in our wholehearted surrender and a stillness before God that we hear Him speak. Nothing less than a full surrender to God’s Word will please Him, and satisfy us. God’s amazing grace will flow like a river toward us with each word He speaks, as we patiently wait before Him. This is the source of the more abundant life Jesus speaks about.
In the stillness of our silence we cease from all our activities, as we are being filled with God’s own peace. His agenda becomes our desire, His love becomes our life, His wisdom provides the our solution to every problem, and His answer to our every question becomes our daily experience.
So we wait for God to speak, and lean on His every word, we are secure in His hands, and deeply Encouraged. – JSP
