Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10
We often treat prayer as a monologue; ok God thanks for everything, this is what I want and need, please help so-and-so, talk to you soon, goodbye; oh and in Jesus name, Amen. We rush through our prayers like we rush through our lives and we do not allow God to move on our hearts and speak to us. We miss out on what prayer is all about: a conversation with God. So God directs us to do what I have always had a problem doing: Just be quiet and listen.
When you allow prayer to be a two way conversation, you will experience your relationship with Christ in a whole new way. God will speak to your heart; often he will speak, not like a great wind, or and earthquake, but with a still, small voice (1 Kings 19:11 -12). He will guide you and direct you so that He may be exalted and glorified; humble yourself, be obedient to His voice, and witness miracles happen.
