Have you ever been in a situation that you knew your voice, your ideas, your opinions were not being heard? Either someone in the group was hogging the conversation (which by definition is not conversation!), or someone really didn’t think you knew what you were talking about? When I find myself in those situations, after a while, I stop trying to be heard. I give up. I start to think badly of the person doing all the talking. I retreat into my shell.
Sometimes, if my mood is just prickly enough, I will shout out and demand to be heard!
Transfer that idea to our prayers. Are you doing all the talking and not taking the time to sit back and listen to God? Is He letting you talk? Is He giving up on trying to be heard? Or is He standing up and shouting to you?
