Listening to Godde

who is listening to me

~~~~~

You listen to my heart’s pain

as I pour it out by name

Most Holy Godde

 I listen in the silent quiet

remembering your 

royal presence

knowing I am loved

knowing I am held

a beloved child

 Later, when the blessings flow, and

a thought or notion starts to grow 

I know Your Hand, is guiding me

as with a calmer heart I listen

and give thanks

The thing is, so much of prayer is listening to Godde listening to us.  Sometimes, when prayers seem to go unheard, we may be unaware til later, that we’ve been heard - then, seeing an answer, recognize connection to our plea. 

Our answers may not come in words - or according to our timing. They may not be in the form requested, but we can trust that blessings will be there as surely as new seasons come again - and sunshine after rain.
