I know it's God....
I'm enamored by the way God designed us each in a unique way to hear his voice in the secret place with him. When I write, I know when it's God speaking to me. I know it's his voice opposed to my shallow thoughts when the overflow of my heart spills out into words as I get quiet and still before the throne. My best writing doesn't come when I am forcing myself to produce something, anything, but when I can't help but to pull the words out of the deepest places as my Father whispers in my ear. I know it's God when I am the person who needs to hear what I have to say so desperately. Perhaps what I write may speak to someone else, but the passion comes from my own personal struggles and shortcomings. Lord, help me to believe what know.

Jill: I, too, communicate with God best through writing. My prayers are in the form of an old-fashioned pencil and paper. Lately, I have found myself spontaneously scrambling for pencil and paper in the middle of an every day activity--unknowingly, I feel the need to write a prayer down. Sometimes I'm not even sure what it is I'm feeling the need to write down until I reread what I have written. I will go back and read former prayers and God will continue to speak to me as I meditate on the words he had given me during that time.
ReplyDeleteSince discovering this is how I best communicate with God, my introverted self has made peace that I'm not the a great and charismatic verbal pray-er. I used to be insecure about prayer aloud in a group, but now I know that it's okay. Not everyone relates to God in the same way. God doesn't speak to every person in the same way either.
