Listen before acting

Greetings:
  Our God is so faithful, always present, good and there when we need Him.
  The trouble is we don't hear his voice because we have not devoted the necessary time in prayer to be able to hear him and recognize his voice when he does speak to us
  Then, when we don't hear him, we get frustrated, anxious and take things upon ourselves. We run too quickly, unproductive, confused, engulfed in just being busy and always pushing - ahead of God.
  We are commanded in Psalm 46:10 to "Be still and know I am God."
  This means we must spend that 'still' time listening to The Holy Spirit and getting our guidance and our spiritual marching orders.
  Our spirit can thrive in solitude, silence and the stillness of our prayer time, if we use it properly.
  Importantly, if we pray and hear no definitive direction, then we do nothing until we do hear that small still voice of the Holy Spirit. Nothing good can happen when we get out in front of God's timing and  His plan.
  Be blessed.

Pray with expectancy
