Stay silent, so silent...enough to hear the whisper of God.

As I sit here writing about this. I find it hard, and odd. Not because I have too many things to say, but because I can’t seem to find anything to say.

This blog topic is not anything that I am comfortable with.

I’d like to call myself a baby Christian ; I found God about a year ago, and I’m trying to hang on tight. But, I’m still not comfortable talking about God or how I feel about Him because I don’t exactly know how to put it.

But lets give this a try:

Sometimes, most of the time, I don’t know what the right way is to talk to God…so I find myself talking to God like a friend.. A friend I’m scared of..A friend I don’t want to disappoint, a friend that I love.

And I talk to God when I’m alone; while I lay in bed. Or I talk to Him when I’m surrounded by a lot of people and I need to shut them out.

But I also, find myself ignoring a lot of Gods warnings. And as of lately, my life is crazy. I can’t find the time to catch a break, and my mind is overly exhausted. And sometimes when I get a “ gut feeling” or a “ bad warning” that is all it is to me… but I need to pay attention, and focus and know that it is not just a feeling, but it is God. And he is trying to talk to me only sometimes, I don’t listen.. because he is too silent, and I need to learn to be patient.

So, as I talked to my friend, I she told me “ Lisa, you need to learn to hear the whisper of God.”

So I’ve decided that I am going to allow myself some time so that God and I can talk, and so that I can listen.

And maybe with His help, I can learn to become more comfortable with talking…and listening.

  1. That is great that you have came to Christ and continue to grow in your faith. It can be hard trying to figure out what God is trying to tell you, but you just got to stop and really listen what He has to say, you will hear him. I really like how you say you talk to Him as you do to a friend, because God is that everlasting friend that you will always have by your side.
