Talking To God
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

The saints had to work at it-

Their temptations were like yours and mine.

It takes a strong will power and a love of God

Above all else, that helped them overcome.

 

When we let out minds explore

The many riches God has sent us.

It is then we can become more saintly,

Though we might not think so.

 

It's a day in day out process

Finding time to give to God.

There are more excuses than prayers

For why we neglect talking to Him.

 

You don't have to make a sound

Just lift your mind to God.

He can take you places to rest

That you never dreamed before.

Always to keep in touch
with God...answers come
in His time frame, but
to know that He listens

Kinda funny as I just started to "Write to God" in a kind of a diary...just mostly asking questions and such in the same manner I talk to everyone else...e

This speaks volumes to everyone who believes in a loving God, regardless of denomination or (true) religion. It's not about what you come up with spur-of-the-moment by rote, before retiring for the day. It's where you try to keep your mind focused every waking hour. There are a lot of self-styled godly people out there that I am more than wary of... duke

We are good souls (some aren't of course like Hitler and others)
Spirit above knows why we are here
Spirit knows the path we have chosen
Spirit knows how we will walk this path
The guardians are always around us
What the bible calls them the comforter
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever...

One does not have to openly yell, Spirit always hears us and knows our own heart :)

Nice write for Christians George :)

Love and Light

Nice writing George. Faith. Mustard seeds. Move mountains. The novel I am writing is about a man seeking answers from God, or one of his disciples.
