~~"A CUP OF CAN YOUHEAR ME NOW"~~
"Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for
to you I pray. In the morning, O Lord, you hear my
voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation."
~~Psalm 5:2-3~~
I always wonder about the other side of the conversation
on those commercials. You know the ones I mean. The guy
with his cell phone takes a step and says,
"Can you hear me now? Good." We are given the impression
that he has a signal everywhere from the bottom of the
Grand Canyon to the top of Mount Katahdin.
But what if this guy is just wandering around talking to
himself? Doesn't he realize you have to wait for an answer
from the other end? "You can still hear me? Good. I'm
stepping over here. Can you hear me now?" Pause. What if
the other end of the conversation is, "No . . . are you there?
You're breaking up. Hello? Hello? I'm losing you. Hello!?"
What if that's how we pray sometimes? We think we are
making a phone call straight to God. The technology works,
but we aren't listening to the other end of the conversation
nor have we bothered to actually dial the number.. Perhaps
we sometimes pretend to pray — like an actor
pretending to make a phone call.
What if we get so busy saying, "Good. I'm stepping over
there now…" that we don't stop to wait for God's end of the
conversation. We don't pause. We forget to wait for the,
"Yes, my child" or the "No, I'm losing you, come back."
Are we hearing, are we listening for
God's end of the conversation?
Our Father, who art in Heaven . . . can you hear me now?
~~A SONG TO SINGALONG WITH AS YOU SIP YOUR TEA~~
~~"JUST A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS"~~
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in,
And then a little light from Heaven filled my soul;
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above,
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole..
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus.
Let us tell Him all about our troubles.
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by.
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
Then you'll know a little fire is burning.
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer,
And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;
The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies,
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus.
Let us tell Him all about our troubles.
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by.
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
Then you'll know a little fire is burning.
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears,
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night;
I go to Him in prayer, He knows my ev'ry care,
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus.
Let us tell Him all about our troubles.
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by.
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
Then you'll know a little fire is burning.
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
