I consistantly pray for discernment, and a heart that desires to restore those in need, instead of casting stones.Julie Gillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043208077641628180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-67675676443847857332009-09-21T10:25:21.562-04:002009-09-21T10:25:21.562-04:00Discerning God's voice is something I pray abo...Discerning God's voice is something I pray about often. I've learned it is so easy to pay attention to the faults of others, while God is wanting me to focus on my own, lifting them up to him and working out my sancification with him.<br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-25533740728084378992009-09-21T10:10:41.611-04:002009-09-21T10:10:41.611-04:00May I clarify that last remark?

What I should have said, Doug, is that if we speak to the Lord first, we know IF we should even speak to others, and then know WHAT to say.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-10403413587025321892009-09-21T09:57:22.678-04:002009-09-21T09:57:22.678-04:00Denise, to your prayer I add my "Amen" f...Denise, to your prayer I add my "Amen" for both of us.<br /><br />Elizabeth, so true of all we learn. And until we apply it, have we really learned it?<br /><br />Brad, I've been incredibly blessed by the awareness of His presence. But even in times of stillness, I'll be forever learning the vital discipline of quieting my mind to listen better.<br /><br />Russell, how great the potential for good or bad in the human counselor ... yes? I suppose being humbled increases dependence on Him, for GOOD!<br /><br />Doug, if I only speak to one Person, I agree it should be the Lord, so we then know what to say to others.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-22451176715719737332009-09-21T08:01:02.253-04:002009-09-21T08:01:02.253-04:00Thanks Anne.

It requires discipline and prayerful silence. And then constant watchfulness and awareness. It's an ongoing lesson. I have found that meditation helps me with this, and also praying at different times during the work day.Bradley J.
