Tuesday - April 22nd  

​​​​​​​​​​​​

Talk to me. Spend time with me in thoughtful prayer. You rush by along your determined way with only a nod to me as you pass. Yet, I call you to remain with me, intentionally dwelling in my presence. For it is in those lingering moments, seeking me and exploring the urging of my Spirit within you, that I grant understanding and apply my written words to the experiences and needs that swirl around you. It is in the quiet of dedicated time before me that I reveal my way to you. The question you posed to me is important, and your understanding of my response is even more so. Reject the distractions that pull at you. Wait with me. Bring your full attention to me. I will lead you to understand and to act.
