Prayer can and should be a “TWO WAY” conversation like any engaging and worthwhile exchange of the heart. Whether on the phone or in person, MEANINGFUL conversations usually involves a person speaking and the other listening but if one does all the Speaking and the other does all the Listening then the process becomes less than ideal. Such it is with our communication with our Father in Heaven in the Prayer process.
My Mission President related this experience to me regarding his family communication process. Due to the limited time Mission Presidents have even with their families, his time with his children became sacred and special moments. In his office or in their residence, he had TWO chairs. One of the chairs was always designated as a “Listening Chair” and the other as a “Speaking Chair” where he or the child would then take the appropriate chair and that role was respected and adhered to!!
Question: are we FULFILLING this communication process and PROVIDING our Father in Heaven the time to reply OR are we doing all the speaking and very little or zero listening? Our sacred prayers can and should be incredible opportunities for Inspiration, Guidance and filled with Instruction. I pray that it may ALWAYS be so!!!
