Listening in Prayer

Listening in Prayer

Have you been experiencing a lot of struggles and trials lately? In your trial, get alone with Jesus and cry, “Lord, You’re the only One who can help me. Only You know the way through this trial, so I’m going to stay here till You tell me what to do.”

This is the kind of praying that is pleasing to God. It means stopping everything, all activity. Only then will you hear Him speak clearly to your heart: “You must make things right with this person.” Or, “Just stand still till next week. Don’t get in a hurry. Sit in My presence and trust Me.” He will give you clear directions.

When you are intimate with Jesus, do you receive direction from Him? Does He tell you what to do and when and how to do it? Some Christians don’t believe God does this but Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice . . . and they follow me” (John 10:27).

Most Christians don’t listen to God. They go to Him only to talk! Yet the Scriptures reveal that any person who was ever used of God learned to remain in His presence until hearing from Him.

Scripture makes it clear that the Lord wants to talk to every one of us: “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21).
