I love the psalms. They comfort me, they lift me up, they speak of my frustrations, they celebrate joy, and they show me peace. Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. One of my favorites. Today I was reading and came across psalm 62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. There is so much in this little verse, but the part that struck me is the "wait in silence." It made me think of when I am praying I have a hard time listening for the Lord. I pour out my joy, hopes, and needs, but I struggle when needing to listen to the Lord. How do you listen? I get restless and start praising and thanking God. I need to focus on God and "wait in silence."
