Are You Listening?

[BintuluChuchGuy]

Hi everyone,just wanted to post a question.

So,I know prayer is communication between the soul and God,the created and the Creator.
So,I know when we pray we talk to God.Jesus listens to our problems,but then communication can’t be one sided,I mean Jesus too has to speak to us right?because He has listened to us.Its like talking with a friend,and your friend answers you.

So,how do we listen to God?Do we just sit down quiet and still?or …I dont know

Thanks in advance and blessed Advent.

I hope that I’m not giving you incorrect information. When I pray, certain thoughts come into my head. I once said Lord I love you. A thought came into my head “Don’t tell me, show me” That sort of thing. I personally believe that our thoughts are not our own. I could be wrong. I believe thoughts are basically dark and light thoughts. They originate from God and then the contaminated thoughts are filtered through the Devil. We should blot out the dark thoughts and receive the light thoughts. These light thoughts (good conscience) are God talking to us. I once asked how much to put in the plate at Mass. He said “how much do you want to be blessed?” Again, I could be wrong. I’m happy with it up until I learn something better. Always things from God require sacrifice on my part. Then when I follow through the good stuff always follows. God bless:thumbsup:
