Humbly Practice Hearing God

[S] Jeremiah 42:4,7 --
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you. Behold, I am going to pray to the LORD your God in accordance with your words; and I will tell you the whole message which the LORD will answer you. I will not keep back a word from you."
7 Now at the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.

[O] When the people approached Jeremiah to inquire God about what they should do, he responded to them with confidence that he "will tell them the whole message."  This implies that he is very much used to inquiring God and hearing from Him the answers and that is something attained over time and intimate relationship with God.  Even then, as seen in verse 7, the process requires a significant amount of time.  As with any good things, seeking God's will is an involved process that requires perseverance.

[A] I need to increase my prayer time with God to "practice" more of hearing His voice.  In my excuse of being busy, I want instant prayer results and I need to repent from having such an arrogant attitude of demanding God to meet my needs under the umbrella of prayer.

[P] Dear Father, please grant me humble heart before You especially when I approach You with my circumstantial needs.  I want to keep practicing my ability to hear Your word and to obey them with humble heart.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
