Talk to me Lord
As I sit here having a cup of coffee with Jesus this morning, I realized that I have been doing all the talking. I read my Bible aloud and prayed and was just yacking away and it dawned on me (I’m smart like that) that I hadn’t asked Him what He was thinking. I am really trying to focus on what He wants to tell me instead of me telling Him what I want or how my day should go. Imagine that, me telling the Creator of the universe how to plan my day! As if!!
Anyways, today I will stop throughout my day and ask Him what He thinks. I want to draw near to Him so He will draw near to me. I want to be able to hear His small voice speak to me. I want to sense His presense like never before.
I was just reminded of the time when Elijah was hiding in the cave after he killed all the prophets of Baal. God came to him and told him to go stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord because the Lord was about to pass by. I think I would just drop dead if that happened to me! The Lord then sends a powerful wind that shattered the rocks but He was not in it. He then sent an earthquake but He was not in that either. Next came a fire but He was not there either. Then, I love this part, came a gentle whisper. God spoke to Elijah in a whisper. I think of the many missed opportunities to commune with God because I was looking for something extraordinary to happen when all along He is whispering.
Lord today, help me to be so in tune with You that I hear Your whispers. I don’t want to miss anything you have to say me today.

I was just sitting here at my desk at work. I just took my lunch break and decided to close my office door and try to sleep. But instead I started to play a computer game on my work computer. (Image that! Playing games on company equipment). As I was playing the game, it came to me. (You are always talking about having time for God and wanting God to talk to you, but when you have the opportunity, you do what, start playing around. And then you wonder why God doesn’t talk to you anymore.) I told my self I’m just play one more game and then I will spend time with God. (I heard in my spirit) “Putting God on the back burner?” Or have you gotten so use to doing what you want that you just have a habit of putting God last? I immediately stopped playing the game. I then wondered “What do I do now?” I remember thinking I want to talk to God. I then decided to go to the web and look up biblegateway.com to find a scripture to read, when it dawn on me, go to google and type in Talk to God and see what you get. I was so amazed when I typed the words in and got your site. I read (my ramblings dated April 2, 2007.) Isn’t it amazing! On April 2, 2010, you wrote this 3 years and 7 months ago, and only God knew that I would need it today, July 14, 2010, 3 years, 7 months after He unctioned you to write about talk to God. Thank you for being obedient to the whispering of the Lord.

This weekend was wonderful but my spirit felt heavy and I was having sleepless nights. I went to church and was home 15 minutes and the phone rang. The call was from my spiritual son, who’s wife had just lost her mother found dead on the floor by her bed. When I ministered and waited until they came to take the body away and came home. I wanted to talk to God. Something told me to google Talk to me Lord. I need to talk to God more and I want to hear everything he has to say. I am glad I found this site. I feel like I am communicating with others who love God and desire to strengthen their relationship. God Bless

I was just sitting at the computer taking a break from my weekend chores and I said to myself again as I do so many times, “talk to me God” I never feel He talks to me. Your site appeared when I typed in the same phrase and it was touching to read what you had to say on the subject. He does talk to me or He tries to but I get in the way!
I either keep too busy to listen or I do all the talking.
Thanks for sharing

Today I had felt so down and alone, and just typed “talk to me, Lord” in the search box, not expecting to have the search return anything of merit. To my surprise, the Lord did speak to me, through your words. Thank you.

God is good all the time. Like so many others i just needed a word from God and out of desperation googled ‘Lord speak to me’. This has been a blessing. I will be still and know that He is God. I will go to the place where God is directing me (whatever ‘mountain’ that may be) and be still and listen for his voice.
God bless
