I want the Lord to draw near to me. I want to rest in His presence this year. I want to listen to the voice of God as well as discern what He is saying. It is so easy for me to get wrapped up in the things of this world and to focus on telling God things instead of listening to Him. I want to hear God, I mean really hear Him. I know that He has things to tell me and I know He wants to guide me but I am not even giving him a chance to speak. Starting now I am going to take time daily not only to talk to God and read His word but to listen. I want to feel Him near and I want to communicate. I want to hear Him and I want Him to hear me. I truly believe that by resting in His presence daily He will show me things I would never have seen otherwise. This is me embarking on a journey of audacious faith believing that God has something to say to me. Lord reveal yourself to me I surrender to your voice today.
