A Listening Ear

There is a sense of frustration when we just want to be heard and no one will listen.  At times we will try to make our voice heard only to keep being stopped by the listener to make his/her point.  Then the conversation is quickly taken over by that person.  Once again we become the listener while yet another person unloads.  Other times we get to speak and the listener is behind a newspaper or on the computer and we receive a quick yes or I see when we know they haven’t heard anything we said.  Other people will take what you say seriously then later we learn our conversations have been circulated through the gossip mill.

God is always interested in chatting with us.  His door is always open night or day and at all locations.  He never gossips about us, interrupts us or makes us feel embarrassed.  We can talk about anything and He understands.  When we share our broken hearts, anger or frustrations He understands.  Once we are honest with God, He can work things out.  The more we share with God the more He has to work with. 

Psalm 66:19

But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer.
