Step 10
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 3:18 pmwhen I first saw what the subject of step 10 was I though well I understand prayer and am doing fine with it. so i proablely want find alot in this subject. But I was wrong.
The who, what, why, and when I get it. what caught me was "God always answers with yes, no, and not now."
I get the yes, and the no but..... the "not now" is where i find my self getting into trouble.
I am kind of like Peter at times: I plow in, jump in, speak first and so on.
After the fact I ask "what did I miss?"
I have a tendance of only hearing the "now" instead of hear not...now.
As for my prayer life. The Holy Spirit is a constant in my every day life.
I talk with him as if he is always standing beside me. If an arrow has just been shot at me weather from a family member and friend or bill collector: My first respondence is:" DID YOU SEE THAT!" It is not that I am waiting on his respond because most times I am too busy gwaning on the arrow that just struck me. But I am working on listen in stead of reacting.
on
I have just add another tool in my tool shed. Being aware of things is half the battle. so i am going to listen closer to the not.....now enstead of the now!
I am so encouraged by what I am learning in this course. More than I thought i would.
love all of you
