Still small voice

 Speak, Lord, Thy servant heareth. (1 Samuel 3:10)

 With many people, prayer is a one-way conversation, and they do all the talking. They pray, “Hear, Lord, Thy servant speaketh,” instead of like Samuel, the child prophet, who at five years of age said, “Speak, Lord, Thy servant heareth.”
 Prayer is not just getting down on your knees and speaking your piece, but letting God speak His, too. This is why each of us is supposed to know the Lord personally and be filled with the Holy Spirit and therefore be led by the Spirit individually. Listen
 We all need to hear from God. It doesn’t have to be out loud; it doesn’t have to be with an audible voice. It can just be in that “still small voice” that you feel inside of you—sometimes not even words, just an impression that you have. God doesn’t have to communicate in words; He can just give you a feeling or a picture or an idea.
 His Spirit is like a broadcasting station, broadcasting all the time; you just have to learn how to tune in. —DBB [1]

 I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking God to do His work through me. —Hudson Taylor (1832–1905)
