After the prophet Habakkuk questioned God and expressed his outrage…

After the prophet Habakkuk questioned God and expressed his frustrations with the injustices of the world,
he didn't just complain; he stood at a "watchtower" to discern how God would respond, and waited for God's answer.
...Many Christians... pray to God and then quickly go to work or school...
However... without listening to God's answer to their prayers...😰
If their prayers are one-sided...
I believe they are missing the important voice of God❗️.
...When observing the prayers of those who are listening to "God's voice"...🧐
What they have in common is... after praying... they quietly wait to hear God's answer❗️.
...In the Old Testament, the young Samuel... responded to God's call with, "Speak, Lord; your servant is listening."
...Prayer is... a response from God❗️.

Lately, I've been receiving so many emails and messages from various people that...
I can no longer find hours to respond.
My respected pastor apparently dedicates his mornings to prayer and response!

...It seems...🤔
The presence of the Holy Spirit is becoming more intense... and he's been entrusted with a great ministry!
When you pray, do you expect a response from God...🤔❓️
Like Samuel...
"Speak, Lord; your servant is listening."
If you can even take a little time to respond, your faith will become more vibrant!

Shalom 😄
