Talking to God

What is prayer? There is of course, more than one right answer to this question. One simple definition is that prayer is (among other things) a conversation. Just as any well balanced conversation between two people requires much listening and speaking, so too do our conversations with God.
The invitation to listen in our prayers is very clear in scripture. This week, let us be reminded to take a posture of intentional listening in our prayers so that we might speak as one being spoken to and we might listen as one being taught (Is 50:4). One word from the Father changes everything! 
“The Sovereign LORD has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.” – Isaiah 50:4
What understanding is the Lord wanting to give you in listening prayer?
