Ive had a hard time hearing Jesus these days - alot of things distracting me, feeling too unworthy to talk to Him, that kind of stuff. The other day I was praying and I couldnt see Jesus, I couldnt hear him either...so I started yelling around...I yelled "Hey can you hear me"...and Jesus said "yes, but the real question is can you hear ME???"...and I came to realise, allthough I thought I was meeting and hearing him, I was actually just listening and not hearing. You know when you are having a converstation with someone, and you can daze off, still listening but allowing your own thougts to over rule? Well its kinda like that. But Jesus wants all of us, our undived focus. Thats what he's teaching me.

Some friends of mine were telling me about a listening prayer exercise they did in class about asking the Lord what their sheild of faith looks like. The next morning I desided to do the same thing. My shield was pretty well used. About 3/4 of it was dented and marked up. But the top corner was smooth and new. I guess Im not using all my faith in this battle.

What does your sheild look like?
