Silent

This week my goal has been to try to be silent before God and just sit at His throne and let Him speak to me. I seem to always have a lot to say to God but I hardly ever let Him do the talking. Let me tell you, God has a LOT to say and I encourage you to listen. He was countless promsises and words that He wants to tell His children."Speak God. I'm your servant. Im ready to listen." -1 Samuel 3:9b
"Sometimes the best words we can speak is no words at all. Standing in the silence letting God speak to you, He wants your heart. So if you have no words to speak, Then sit in HIS silence and let HIM speak. It's in the quietness of our hearts when we just stand before HIM amazed. Thats when we can hear Him speak to us." -Jason Upton
God has used everything that I have come in contact with this week as a way to speak to me. Such as the t.v. I randomly recorded Joel Osteen and watched it and His lesson was exactly what I needed to hear. Through conversations with friends God is preparing my heart for Mexico. God has been showing me some awesome things from His word.
"May the Lord lead your heart into a full unerstanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ." -2 Thessalonians 3:5
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." -Psalm 139:23-24

This is my prayer:
Abba God, I pray that I leave myself here on Friday. I want it to be all of you. Move me out of the way and hide me behind the cross. God Im going to be honest im slighty nervous and scared since we havent done much to plan and we are just going down there and going where you lead us. But if you are with me God then Whom then shall I fear? Knowing that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever lets me know that I can trust you fully. If there is anything that is in my heart that isnt of you God, I pray that you get rid of it. May every word that comes from my mouth bring honor to your name. I'm all yours God. Use me, and lead me to where you want me to go. Instead of Praying God be with me, I pray that I am with you God and that I walk hand and hand with you forever.
