I am directed once again through my prayer to say that we need to get quiet and listen for God’s voice and direction during prayer. We need to learn to be at peace in the quiet. It is a discipline that we learn and it takes a little practice. But practice makes perfect. Eventually even the small noises  that are present fades until you can hear what is going on in your head, words scroll through your brain and thoughts that are so alive and are meant for action are placed before us by God through the Holy Spirit.

Everyone of us is capable of a successful prayer life from the Pope to a small child. It is up to you to desire it. What we achieve in this life is limitless when be believe in ourselves not because we are great, but because Our God created us with the ability to communicate directly with him through the Holy Spirit to attain the gifts that are needed to reach our goals.

The one thing that I really have come to understand myself is this. God is not a God that worries  about us winning a lottery. What God wants us to desire in my mind is this…

God wants us to rely on him and to keep it simple. When we are in prayer we should be looking for things that will bring us closer to our God or will allow us to help others more. God already knows what we want so I do not ask. I figure if he thinks it’s a good thing for me or that I would be a good steward of that thing that he may allow it to happen.

God also wants us to rely on him to give us what we need and what is the best for us. Winning the lottery for example is not always the best thing for all of us. It could destroy many. But for the few that could handle it and remain who they are in Christ. They would be able to Bless so many. I heard of a regular guy recently that won a huge lottery and gave it all to charity. He said that his needs were met by God and he did not want it to effect his family.

When you as a parent are trying to talk to a child who is distracted and not listending whether it be because of tv, radio, video games whatever, don’t you find it annoying! Especially when you are trying to direct your child on a straight path where there is safety and security, and they are just too busy, there is too much noise etc.

By not shutting down the noise we are ignoring God. If you say God does not hear and answer my prayers it could be because of all of the constant music and the distractions of life is drowning out his voice.

Everything today is instant, a text message can travel the globe in 1 second. I had to learn to silence and shut down the technology before I begin my prayer. Otherwise we become distracted by it.

God deserves better, and we only get the best from our Father when we love, respect and listen to him. Amen.

Word Of God Speak  Mercy

So this upcoming  Advent/ Christmas Season look for the opportunity to devote yourself to more prayer time . I tell my kids all the time when you get into the car don’t just put on the radio . Give the ride to work to God. I use to do that a whole lot myself. It is very peaceful.

Mercy Me God With Us.

God Bless You,
