Talking About or Talking With

Yesterday I was talking with a friend and I confessed to this person that I had only talked to God once, the whole day. It was almost 5 pm!!! I had talked about God on several occasions during the day and I listen to preaching or Christian music on the radio as I ride around. But it just hit me that I had not talked with Him since Men's Fraternity.

Is this just a problem that I face or do you guys find yourself in the same boat?? I usually think all day about Godly things, but rarely do I talk to Him. I know there is room for both, but I think He wants us talking to Him more than just about Him.

I think I get caught up in religion instead of a relationship. What I can do rather than what God can do through me, or what needs to be done vs. God what do You want done. The more I confess here the more I realize it is just a change in the thought process. Now I know this isn't ground breaking information. I knew it already, but why is it so hard to put into practice. I think because we get in the way with our personal agendas and the thought that we alone can make a difference.

We don't have to be on our knees every time we talk to God. All He wants is for us just to talk with Him as we do with everyone else.

If you fall in this category with me try today and everyday to do better.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
