Most days when I get to the office, I open my web browser and immediately click on a link to a free, online music service. Throughout the day, the music stops and a little window pops up and asks me, “Are you still listening?” I then have to click on the little window, and my music starts right back up.
This morning when that happened, it made me stop and think about my prayer life. I have to admit that often times, maybe even most of the time, my prayer time is more of a drive-by shooting at God with all the things I need him to handle. I do not sit and listen very often and when I do, it is not for long.
I wonder if God ever looks at me with the same question, “Are you still listening?” It is not an issue of God not answering or speaking to me – it is the fact that I am not paying attention.
Take the time today to share your concerns with God but then also give him time to answer – stay and listen.
Good word, Brian!
