the phone rang, the person on the other line said, "hello." but he could not here the caller on the other line. he could barely here what the person on the other end of the line is saying. so he hung up the cellphone.
the cell rang again. and this time he could somewhat hear the voice ont he other line."hello. i could barely hear you!," he told the caller. in his almost silent tone, the caller said, "check your phone. is it placed correctly in your ear? "
the receiver checked the cell and all this time, it was placed backwards on his ear! no wonder he can not hear what the caller is saying!
sometimes this act of miscommunication is similar to our relationship with the Lord. sometimes we feel as if the Lord does not seem to hear our prayers. yet, we pray everyday to Him. but have you ever wondered why?
did we you check what was wrong? maybe because like the story above, our ways of life and serving the Lord are "backwards" like the cell phone was placed backwards? the Lord could not hear our prayers because we are not doing what is supposed to be done correctly. and in order for us to get through the phoneline of prayers to talk to the Lord, we have to make sure the ways of geeting there is done precisely righteous and not evil.
you still feel abandoned and unheard by the Lord? check if the phone to communicate with him is backwards. this is the time to put it in place correctly so the Lord can hear you.
[Lord, sometimes, it seems that you have forgotten about us. it seems that you don't even hear our prayers and outcries. but then Lord, i realized that sometimes it was not that you could not hear us. it was because our ways are backwards. help us to fix the kinks of our communication and our ways of life. so that way, we can communicate with you the in a way that you can hear our prayers. teach us and lead us to YOUR way, O Lord so we won't feel as if you can not hear us. we ask you this in your most precious name. AMEN.]
