Only the best

I ask 
for guidance

I ask
for Him
to show me
a better way

I ask 
and He answers

Yet
the answer He gives
Is not
entrenched into my being
I do not hear the answer
I do not hear ... 

I ask
for guidance
and He provides
guidance.

He says,
“I wouldn’t if I were you.”
“Are you sure that is what you really want to do, my child?”

And where am I?
Why do I not hear?
Surely I am listening.

Is it because
Satan knows his part so well
knows how to dig deep
how to invade
into my
personal space
knows how to pursue
my desires and wants and wishes
how to snag me
so all thought of
pleasing My Lord
vanishes?

Oh!
woe is me.
The Lord is
not happy with me.

I  ask
He answers
He has answered before
Time and time again

I continue to ask
He still answers.

When will I hear?
When will the still small voice
Of my precious Lord
reach my inner being
and I will respond
in loving obedience?

He wants only
The best for me.
Do I?
