Space to Speak

"I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for He will speak peace unto His people" (Psalm 85:8).

I will hear what God will say;
I will give Him space to speak.
For prayer should never be one way,
But to listen and to seek.

I'll never find the peace I need
By hearing myself talk.
So I will watch where God will lead,
And therein I will walk.

Lord, you know my tendency
To ramble on in prayer,
And sometimes it occurs to me,
I pray like You're not there.

But You are there, so I will wait
To hear what You will say,
As on Your Word I meditate
And hasten to obey.
