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.
