Dug Down Deep (2)

How's the reading going? What are you getting out of Dug Down Deep?

One thought in particular grabbed me this week from the chapter, "Ripping, Burning, Eating." On page 64, Josh says, "I guess all humans have wondered, 'When I pray, does God hear me?' But what this story teaches is that the questions we should ask are, 'Am I hearing God through his Word? Am I listening to him? Am I trembling before his Word?'"

This struck me because it has been true of me. I know there is a definite connection to the "bouncing off the ceiling prayers" and my not "listening" to God. Why am I more concerned that God hear me? Shouldn't I be more concerned to hear Him?
