a Whisper…I have heard you

“Sometimes after you have prayed and as you wait for me to answer, you feel like I am being silent. This doesn’t mean that I have not heard your prayers or that I am not working in the background to answer them. Your flesh craves an immediate response especially when you feel anxious.  Don’t allow your flesh to deceive you into thinking temporary silence means no answer will come. Abide confidently in me and allow me to work.

I ask you to wait upon me, to trust the provision of my Spirit.  Allow me to renew your strength as you wait. Keep your focus upon Me, the One who answers, rather than on the answers you’re waiting for.

Not one prayer is forgotten by me because I am attentive to your voice when you speak. You must be willing to allow me to move according to my timeline and wait patiently, even if the timing seems inconvenient. I am never late, so by faith trust me for the answers. Persevere with me as you continue in prayer and be assured that I have heard you.”

I am a devoted follower of Christ who believes that when we have ears to hear, God will speak to us. He not only uses His word through the Bible, but he uses the Holy Spirit to communicate with us in many different ways, but mostly in the ways He knows each individual heart will hear Him. This blog is simply about sharing the whispers that the Lord has spoken to my heart during quiet times with Him. I give Him all the credit for the words shared on this site. If there is any encouragement for you, as there has been for me, the blessing is from Him. I pray that all who find this blog will hear his voice in these Whispers.
