Silently I sit here,
thoughts frantically moving at a
slow and endless pace,
What do I do?
What should I say?
Motionless I sit here
calm and still by my heart races
I pray and talk,
then I sit quietly,
listening to God.
Some days are easy and other days seem to filled with all types of struggles. In times of trouble, I take pride into my own hands and want to fix the problem myself. With the last plan of action starting to fail, I begin to realize my first mistake. I had neglected to God first. What ever our struggles and heartaches are, we need to go to God.
When I think about the concept of going to God in my troubles, I realize how depressing it must be for God to just hear our problems. It is easy to forget to praise God for everything that HE has done for us. Maybe He has helped you conquer a fear or brought joyous results to a test. I try to praise God for HIS GLORY, MERCY, GRACE, AND HEALING. However, once the pain is gone, our end of the communication line begins to "lose connection".
Talking about our problems can be easy for most of us. Some are eager to relinquish the weight of their heart while other search for the perfect words to summarize their pain. Whether you are quick to gab or slow to stammer, listening is what counts. Sitting silently in daily prayer is difficult...but think about the reward at the end.
When I blog, I hope it is clear that this is a therapeutic way for me to open the flood gates of my heart. But most importantly, I share messages with you that I need to hear and listen as well. If I can help one person understand that I have been there and there is light at the end of the tunnel with God walking by your side....I have succeed. If my blogs bring joy, happiness, or maybe a good laugh...I'm satisfied. Just know that when you read my blogs, you are reading what God has laid on my heart...that is all that counts to me!
