Straight from Him

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV)

 Prayer is not just getting down on your knees and speaking your piece, but it’s letting God speak His, too—and waiting until He answers. You’ve got to get not only in prayer, but you’ve got to get in the Spirit. And if you do, He’ll tell each one of you what you’re supposed to do.
 Every day should be a new day, a new experience, a new listening to the voice of the Lord. Why just live on yesterday’s food; why not have something fresh every day? You can hear from God every day, and you should be hearing from Him every day. It doesn’t have to be out loud; it doesn’t have to be with an audible voice.
You cannot look to your own wisdom; you cannot rest in your own understanding. You must look for the supernatural, miraculous, powerful leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. It’s impossible to solve these problems on your own.
 So remember that you cannot possibly solve these problems in your own wisdom, your own strength, your own mind, your own understanding, your own trying to put two and two together. You’re going to have to ask the Lord by the supernatural, miraculous power of the Holy Spirit, to give you downright, outright, upright revelations, heaven-right, straight from Him, to show you exactly what to do. —David Brand Berg [1]

Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation - and for me the most important part is listening to God's replies. —Frank Laubach
