A Very Bad Day
Yesterday was a bust!! It was really bad -- all around me. There was sadness. There was pain. There was whinning. There was complaining. Yikes. But today the air was different. The sun was shining. Lots of work got done. People were happier. (and the Yankees won!) God worked in my life, and I felt his protecting Hand. But why is satan's voice so VERY LOUD ?!? Why is God's still small voice, masked by the sadness. Masked by misunderstanding. Hidden by human frailty and weakness. I want God's voice to be loud, clear and ringing in my ears. I guess I control the volume, really . . . .and if I'm paying attention I can turn the knob.

I can definately sympathise with you. Yesterday was a HORRIBLE day at my corps. The kids were out of control, they were rude to a guest, and I went home feeling absolutely ineffective as an officer.
Last night, I lay in my bed asking the Lord why, in times like that, he was silent..... and I realized that I couldn't hear through my own frustration, anger, and hurt feelings.
There's a song by Sarah Groves that discusses this same thing.....It's called Hello Lord, and it seems to really fit here....
Hello Lord, it's me your child
I have a few things on my mind
Right now I'm faced with big decisions
And I'm wondering if you have a minute, cuz
Right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I just can't hear you.
I don't doubt your sovereignty
I doubt my own ability to
Hear what you're saying
And to do the right thing
And I desperately want to do the right thing
But right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I just can't hear you.
And somewhere in the back of my mind
I think you are telling me to wait
And though patience has never been mine
Lord, I will wait to hear from you
Oh Lord, I'm waiting on you
Right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I think you're whispering
