Psalm 62:1(nlt)- I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from HIM.

     How many times has God told me this? 1 Thessalonians 4:11(nkj) tells us to aspire to lead a quiet life and in the King James version it puts it this way, study to be quiet. Do we talk too much or do we just keep repeating ourselves over and over and over again telling God the same thing we just told Him five minutes ago and five minutes before that. Matthew 6:7(nlt) when you pray don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Does God have bad hearing,is He loosing His memory? He is old you know. No! God is not a deaf and dumb idol. He is the all seeing, all knowing, all hearing omnipotent GOD! Psalm3:4- He heard me out of His holy hill; Psalm 6:8 he hears the voice of your weeping; Psalm 34:4- I sought the LORD and He heard me; Psalm 34:6- this poor man cried and thee LORD heard me. Is this enough? All the way through Gods word it talks about God hearing our prayers. He hears you,Ok! But we need to be quiet and learn to listen to Him.

     We always want God to hear us. The part that is lacking in our relationship with our God is shutting up long enough to hear Him. Psalm 46:10- Be still and know that I am GOD. Be still! Me be still? What did you say? I can't be still I have to be about my fathers business. How do you know it is his business if you don't sit still long enough to hear what he wants. Psalm 81:13 Oh that my people would listen to me. Can you hear our Fathers heart? Sounds broken and hurt to me. Can't you feel his loving hand on your shoulder or are we so busy that we ignore that loving touch of His precious hand.

     Father I am so sorry for telling you my same problems over and over again when deep down I know you heard me and tried to answer me the first time but you couldn't because I was too busy telling you again. I am greatfull  you love me and you are so patient with me. Help me LORD to be quiet and wait on you so my strength will be renewed. Teach me LORD to fulfill your desires for my life while commiting this life to you, knowing that my times are in your hands. Father, help me to guard my mouth, keeping my heart and mind on you. Keep me striveing for your will, trusting you in every situations that comes my way.      Teach me LORD to wait.
