Listening

Once again I take a moment

To remind myself that I am here

Sometimes I try too hard to push through

When what I really need

Is to stop and listen

Sometimes I need to hear the whispers of my own heart

Before I can hear the whispers of the divine

When I speak from the heart

Then I am ready to hear

My Father’s heart

Then I am ready to receive

The answer to my questioning

My soul’s desire…

He makes me aware of what I need

So that I can be ready to receive it

No matter what troubles my soul

He is always bigger, stronger, wiser and kind

When I stop being honest with myself

I stop hearing from God

If I do not believe my own voice is true

How can I trust one I do not see?
