I want to be able to listen better. I mean that in every way, to friends, to my wife, to people I work with. But more specifically I want to move out some of the noise that crowds my head every day. It seems like I just keep jamming more in there all of the time instead of trying to move them out. I see God getting several individual's attention in still quiet moments in scripture, and I just don't think I have enough of those in my life to listen to Him speak. Have I been missing some of the things that God has been trying to show me, simply because there's so much going on? I'm sure of it.
The loudest voices seem to always win out in my life...the "outdoor voices" can completely get my attention and pull me away from the things that matter. It's so loud sometimes.
God help me be still before you. Help me to find the moments of silence in my own mind to where I can just stop and listen. Help me to understand how to turn off the voices that are so loud so that you can speak in your quiet indoor voice and I will be able to hear it.
