Today I just wanted to do a short blog on prayer and listening to God.
When I pray, I have this tendency to speak to God, say what I have to say and then say my amen and bounce. The thing is with prayer is that it is a conversation between you and God and conversations are two ways which means that after you have said what you need to say you should be taking some time to listen to what God is saying to you.
Put it this way, when speaking to someone would you say what you have to say and then divert your attention without waiting for their response?
Especially when it comes to God what we tend to do is ask God for things, say amen and then forget to a) listen for what God is saying and b) look out for the answers after we pray.
God speaks in sooo many different ways, it is important not to limit God. He can speak through His word, Instagram, other people, movies and even your own intuition, the Holy Spirit can just drop something into your mind.
This week actively look out for what you have prayed for. For example, if you have prayed for peace notice how your responses are calmer to situations that would normally fill you with anxiety.
Love,
Dom
