CAN YOU HEAR GOD ?
A businessperson was complaining one night about a particularly tough problem at work. His sister asked, "Have you prayed about it ?"
The businessperson responded, "Whenever I can," explaining that he did most of his praying on the run. He excused his prayer pattern with the comment, "The Lord can hear me just as well when I'm running."
His sister responded, "Yes, but can you hear him?"
Do you have a time and place where you can be alone with God, not only to speak to Him but also to listen to Him speak to you?
(See... Mark 1:35)
Jesus had crowds of people all around Him, He would go off to pray... to have an intimate relationship with His Father.
Jesus felt the need to begin the day with prayer. Why? Because the whole day was ahead of Him and this time with the Father in the early morning hours prepared Him spiritually for all of the opportunities of the day.
We, You, I... have to make time... morning, noon, night... whatever the time may be... remember...
A personal relationship with God cannot be developed in a crowd. To develop this intimate relationship with God demands a private place where we can meet God alone.
So.... Stop, Be Still and Listen
God Bless You All
