Thought for the Day: Listening to God

I wonder how often we engage in prayer as a place and time where we give God our shopping list of needs?

The times when we tell Him all that we want in our lives, the lives of others and across the globe and yet, I wonder also, how often we stop and listen to His voice?

Make me to know your ways, O Lord;  teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long

Psalm 25
