Isaiah 28:23

23 Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my speech.

God doesn't say talk to me constantly. He doesn't want to hear the same thing over and over and over again. He does however want communication. By communication, I mean, talking and listening. Sometimes, the Lord would like for his children to be still, quite, humble, and to listen.

We are so consumed by our busy lives...changing the diapers, fixing dinner, cleaning the house, watching TV, playing video games, on and on and on. It's almost impossible to become still and silent. God has something to say and what he wants to tell me is much more important than the little thing I have to complain about. In the word, we are told to pray continuously, without ceasing. This doesn't mean that we should constantly speak to God. If that were so, he would never get his point across to us. His message would be lost in the rambling.

God wants to hear from his people.
The Lord wants his people to listen.
We are to obey him and his word.
Praying continuously also means that how we live our lives is considered prayer.

God's voice directs my path...
