May 6 Psalms 4, 12, 20, 25, 32, 38 Pray by Listening

How often does any of us pray by listening? Do we even consider that prayer? Most think that prayer is us talking and God listening.

But in Psalm 4, the psalmist says, "When you are on your beds, search your hearts and BE SILENT." Why be silent? We are silent so we can listen - for the Holy Spirit to talk to us.

This psalm hit me hard today as I am perplexed about a personal relationship that I have. I want to honor God and be a blessing to this man, but I have tried many times and failed - at least in His eyes. I need to sit on my bed and listen for the Holy Spirit to give me wisdom.

The Word of God never comes back void. It always seems to be JIT - Just In Time. Thank you, LORD.
