How do you listen to God? When is the last time you did listen to Him? What did he say to you? Did he tell you to do something or just have a conversation with him?
If the answer to these questions don't come easy then you may have a listening problem. In prayer, an emphasis is often placed on praise, confession, thanksgiving and asking. All of these parts are important but honestly they are all about our part of the relationship. What about God's part of the relationship? Us listening to God is almost always neglected or ignored.
One easy way to listen to God is through Scripture. When you read scripture ask yourself "What is God saying to me?" Personalize the scripture by inserting your name. Probe deeper in your heart to see what the Lord is pointing out.
To get some practice help, try the book: Simply Listening by Patsy Lewis. I have found it a great help to get me more focused on listening to him instead of me...T

Asking yourself that question--and then hearing the answer--shows how alive the Scriptures are!
