A couple of months ago I found myself face down, thumping the floor, begging. "God, I wanna hear from you. Where are you? Are you even listening? Speak to me!"
It seemed He remained silent in spite of my pounding, begging and demands.
And I am reminded -
God seldom speaks in the ways that I expect Him to speak. He seldom moves the instant I demand that He move. In fact God is not required to speak, move or do anything upon my demand. For God is God and God is so much wiser than I am. He knows what I need so much better than I do.
Sometimes it does seem that God is silent. But could it be that I'm so busy begging, demanding and informing God on what HE needs to do that I'm missing something very important?

For this I am very grateful!
