Can you hear me?

God, I'm having and astronomically bad day and I NEED to hear from you right NOW... So I have decided to sit here until you speak....

Okay maybe we're on different frequencies lord... try channel 3....

You're still not coming through how about 15?

hmmm. Must be on your end...

Doesn't it feel that way sometimes? If only we could tune in to whatever channel God is waiting for us on. Waiting for us because even though I don't feel like he's speaking... the truth is I probably don't have the ears to hear. I've been reading Daniel... and what really struck me today is that Daniel wasn't some sort of super God lover, extra special in some way... he just prayed a lot and God knew his voice. Daniel 6:10 says that Daniel prayed 3 times a day... that he went and prayed just as he'd always done before. That's devotion, that's going to the Lord because we should spend time with him, not just when we're having astronomically bad days... Maybe that is God speaking to me, maybe he's telling me to keep talking to him and not just in the bad times. Maybe he will shut the lions mouth for me even though I just asked him to now when the teeth are at my throat...

God... it sure would be easier if you could just tell me what channel you are on!
