God is ever present and is constantly speaking to us. We do not recognize his voice because we are often dealing with the voices in our head. We are so busy talking to Him in the form of prayer and asking for things, that we forget to listen for the answer. How often do we listen to see if God is answering our prayers or do we talk and talk not really expecting an answer? Many times we miss the answer because we are expecting God to answer in a certain way or mean. I believe that God speaks to us in many different ways and means. Yes, God speaks to us in many ways and we know that he speaks to us through his Word. For we know that Gods Word gives life! He spoke to Moses through a burning bush; he spoke to the prophets through visions and to others through angels. He even opened the mouth of a donkey to speak with the prophet Balaam. It could be an answer through a total stranger in the grocery store line or through a child. However he chooses to answer, we do have access to his Word whenever and where ever we want it. I believe that God is constantly speaking to us but our heads, minds and hearts are filled with so many distractions that it is almost impossible to hear or even acknowledge him in the busyness of life. God wants us to know that he hears and answers our prayers. He loves us and he is speaking the words we long to hear and need to hear. He is touching those who seek him with a quiet power of strength and love. He even knows the prayers of the heart; prayers that we pray without uttering a word. All we need to do is, wait and listen for the answer. God wants to show us a place of freedom, a place of his peace. He wants us to trust him with our lives and trust that he values us, cherish us and wants us to walk in truth. God wants us to feel his presence and experience his power. As we read his Word, we are in his presence and can feel his power. I am writing this as a reminder that he does care and he is with us always. Throughout the years I have written down the things God has spoken to me in our conversations. Do you think God wants us to simply be a church goer? Do you think he wants us to busy ourselves with church work? Or does he want to have a personal relationship with us, the kind of relationship that requires time and conversation. He does not require us to give a lot of time just quality time; time where he will have our undivided attention. I found that as I quietly sit and listen to him, God comforts, encourages, directs and guides me. This book is a compilation of scriptures and simply being at the feet of God allowing him to speak to the heart. It is a matter of losing self to the Spirit. It is my hope and prayer that this little book might inspire, encourage and lift up someone who might feel as though God has forgotten. It is my desire to make Gods Word more effective in your everyday lives. I pray that others will read this book and feel Gods presence and know that he is there for them as he has been for me. To get the most from this book, read it slowly and intently. Search for those special words that speak to your heart and spirit as well as your needs. These words will help you grow in your spiritual walk as you feel the presence of God our Father. I pray that God will bless every life it touches and the words will leave these pages and find a home in your heart.
