Prayer, A Dialogue, Not A Monologue

Ponder this. Have you ever had a conversation with someone who wouldn't let you get a word in edgewise? You waited patiently for an opportunity to enter the conversation, but the person never came up for air, never paused, just kept talking. We've all been in this type of conversation. Not having the opportunity to respond in a dialogue can be a source of frustration.
When we talk to God in prayer, do we allow Him time to respond? Are our conversations with Him a monologue where we do all the talking and don't give Him space to speak?
In our prayer life, it is essential that we allow for moments of quiet stillness so the Lord can respond to us. Turning to the Lord in prayer is part of our relationship with Him. When our prayers are accompanied by moments of silence, we can have a true conversation with the Lord.
Always remember that prayer is a dialogue. We must take time to talk, time to pause, and time to listen to God.
