LISTENING

When I ask you to listen and you start giving advice,

You have not done what I asked. 

When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way,

You are trampling on my feelings. 

When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem

You have failed me, strange as that may seem. 

Perhaps that is why prayer works for some people. 

Because God is mute and doesn’t offer advice or try to fix things. 

God just listens and trusts you to work it out yourself.

So, please just listen and hear me.  And, if you want to talk, wait a few minutes for your turn; and I promise I will listen to you.
