July 5: Tuesday Refocus

“Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God.” - Mother Teresa

We want God to speak, but we do not listen. We want God to reveal Himself, but we never open our Bibles. We want God to show us the way to go, but we ignore His Spirit in the smallest promptings.

We are invited to pour out our hearts to God, but we are also invited to be still (Psalm 62:8, Psalm 46:10). Pour out the words, and trust the Spirit who intercedes when there are no words (Romans 8:26). And wait in silence for God alone (Psalm 62:1).  

Lord, let our words be few… Amen.

Listening,
