Just me trying to be honest with God.

“If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.” Thomas Szasz

Why would we expect our interactions with God to bring any benefit if all we do is talk, but never listen? I am sure that God speaks to people all of the time. Sadly, we do not always hear what He is saying. I have noticed that He is rather quiet mannered. We may be too busy and distracted. Our inner life may be so full of noise that we drown out His quiet words. Effective prayer is learning the value of quieting the soul. We may find that instead of talking “to” God we may start talking “with” Him.
