This concept of me talking a lot got me to thinking how I am sometimes talking to God and not letting Him speak to me. This is because I do not always give Him time to communicate to me because I am doing all the talking. I have a prayer and Bible reading journal. Usually when I pray I have all these different requests along with different praises that have happened throughout the day. However, when I am praying I started to notice how many times I would just be asking for things… and thanking God too. I was doing all the talking and I was not really stopping to listen to God’s voice. I am really trying to make more of a conscious effort in letting others in my life (especially the Lord) to have a chance and speak to me instead of me talking during most of the conversation.
I would encourage you this week to stop and listen to what God wants you to hear. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:15
