"I come to you in need of help. Let me explain." (I proceeded.)
(Silence)
A few days later.....I repeat,
"I really need your help with this problem." (Again I state my request.)
(Silence)
A while later and frustrated-
"PLEASE!! I am pleading with you to help me with this!"
(Silence)
More lapsed time-
Angry I shout,
"You always said you'd be there for me! Anytime and anyplace. Time and
time again, I've come about this dilemma. I NEED you!!!! I am
begging you....HELP ME!!!! Do you hear me?"
In a whispered small voice there came---
"Do YOU hear ME?"
I was rendered silent!
At times when we are faced with challenges, problems, and worries, our minds can become so overwelmed with thoughts it seems as if there are no solutions. It is when we 'silence' the many 'voices' swirling round in our heads leaving but one to be heard, answers that help us come.

Mahalo Learning...Thank you for that...it has been and is my experience also. Some one in recovery a year or so ago gave me a book and I don't know if it was intented for me or intended as a message for me from them. The title of the book was "When man listens....God speaks"
That is the protocol I was reminded of...I must be listening first and then the voice of God can be heard.
I identify like may others with the intro into your post. I have without remorse now gotten to the time where I was shouting and swearing at God because God wasn't doing it right...listening to me first rather than the other way around. Reading my mind and my life and being on hand to jump in without being told or asked. When I was shouted out and could do nothing more than being still...and in stillness listening I saw with my eyes, experienced with my touch and heard with my ears exactly what I needed even while not knowing what it was I should be having...or needing. I was distraught and angry and resentful. My spirit was in crises and chaos and when I was still I was given what I needed...Peace of mind and spirit...quietness and the revelation that HP abides with me and also with others for additional evidence.
I had lost control and needed higher power to find my way back.
