TALK TO ME… My heart has heard you say, Come and talk with me. And my heart responds, LORD, I am coming. (Psalm 27:8 NLT) If there is anything I keep hearing over and over again in the last few days is the Holy Spirit saying, “Talk to Me”. When my mind is in overdrive and the conversations in my head grow progressively louder and louder, the Holy Spirit consistently interrupts to remind me to bring my feelings and concerns to Him. Too many times I think we all “think” about praying without actually praying. But when our minds begin to wonder into dangerous territory (negativity, depression, hopelessness, and despondency) we need to heed the Holy Spirit’s call to consciously bring our concerns to the only One Who can give us peace. Ephesians 3:12 (NLT) says, “Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly into Gods presence, assured of his glad welcome.” And this is God’s message to us in a nutshell! He is with us, He is for us, He is IN us, and He wants us to connect with Him on a heart level so that we can receive all the strength and encouragement we need at the time we need it! So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it. (Hebrews 4:6 NLT) David said in Psalm 42:1-4 (NIV), “I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy. I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way.” Notice that David never poured out his complaint to other people, but He knew he could be candid and open with His God! The Lord knows the way before us. So in times of stress when our spirit grows faint, the Lord knows just how to sustain us and give us wisdom and understanding! So today, don’t put it off, go to Him right where you are and talk to Him for He faithfully awaits to give you strength for your journey!
