Sometimes We Talk to Much (Tip 9)

 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:1

How to Pray without Ceasing

9. Stop talking once in awhile. Instead, just listen.

“And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words” (Matthew 6:7). 

The number (or quality) of words you use in prayer doesn’t matter, because prayer is about God, not about us. Allow yourself to contemplate the nearness of God. Trust that He is your constant companion. Don’t monopolize the dialogue, but spend some of your time just being, simply sitting and resting in His presence. And keep in mind that the best conversations are two-sided, but you won’t hear anything if you never stop to listen.

Let's face it. Sometimes we talk too much. And sometimes we just need to shut up and listen for God.

He has important things he wants to tell us. And too often we are too busy or maybe just not interested in listening to him which can make us miss a blessing or something else that he wants to say to us. 

So we need to remember to give him our time in the quiet of our day, to hear what he has to say to us.

Thanks for coming by, Friends. Have a blessed day!
