Psalm 86

When are we responsible for 'how' someone hears us?

I know 'their response is their responsibility' and I truly get that, most of the time. I am still wondering as followers of the most Amazing God, of Christ when do we become responsible for how we are heard?

In looking back and for 'spiritual milestones', markers on my journey I get stuck in how am I ever going to explain. And maybe I'm not supposed to, maybe I am simply to live....and I believe our story is our story and yet HOW our story could impact someone for YOUR kingdom...just seems to lay a responsiblity at our feet for learning to tell our story? I don't know just some stuff rumbling around my heart and brain this morning. Watching and praying to love others...ALL OTHERS and realizing how far short of that I fall......

And then WOW what a comforting Psalm.....comforting because I have been to the foot of the cross and seen my sin? Comforting in that I know You from reading Your word? Comforting in that more and more the resting with my head in Your hands, trusting the chaos and mess around me that YOU are in it? I don't know I just know this morning You ... vs. 5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. 6 Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry. 7 I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.

And then the whole of Romans 8:26....such comfort this morning. 26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

So if to tell of my markers is to glorify You why am I afraid to list them? This journey is real folks and the Holy Spirit guides us, question becomes I guess, am I really willing to follow?
