'You ask, and receive not, because you ask *Miss,' says James in his epistle. Something here for all to ponder for who of us has not glibly made a prayer with very little thought, and for something we really didn't want in the first place. We pray for patience but continue to lose our tempera and lash out at our families. We pray for love yet won't speak to that person who hurt our feelings at a church meeting two years ago. We . ask for joy and get off our knees to go .on carping and criticizing everyone who doesn't agree with us. It also doesn't make much sense to ask for God's guidance about something when we've already made up our minds what we intend to do. I used to know a strong-willed woman whom I always imagined resolutely got down to her prayers with steadfast determination to tell God just how to get everything straightened out. To her, there were only two ways of ap- proaching anything ... the wrong way and her way. And she was fully convicted, that her's was also God's way. Well, I guess most of us are better at talking to God than listening to him. I know I tend to talk too much, and make it dif- ficult for him to make me hear his will. Luci Shaw has a poem I like very much that challenges us to listen better in our prayers. On and off all day I've tried. I can't get, any answer. Was I calling a wrong number? Is he out?

A 'busy' signal! Could God have left his receiver off the hook? (Someone's at the door. They'll have to wait.) Dial '0'. 'Operator ... is this number still in service? Yes?' Spin it again. And still no answer. I'm positive my line's' not out of order. (Will that knocking never stop?) His phone rings on. Easy for him to say 'Need help? Call on me any time!' What if I can't get through? What if he's gone? or could that.knocking be him calling on me? It could very well be him calling on us, while we're busy haranguing him, to write a letter to that poor soul in extendicare, tovisitthe crippled lady down the street, or to be more fun with our own family. Janie, a friend of mine, who is tied in and kept busy with a baby and a little handicapped son, told me recently how she'd always thought it would be nice if she had some special little lunch prepared for her older girls when ' they came in from the school bus. But she was alwaystoo busy or too tired. There were diapers to fold, cleaning or some other household chore in the way. This- fall; -_however, _ she determined to 'make the time'. It's paying off in a way she newer dreamed of. Now, the gids come bouncing in from _school woe- dering what surprise treat mom has in store for them. Their in- fectious gaiety transforms Janie's day as they sit at the kitchen table for 15 or 20 minutes. sharing their activities. 'It's opened up a whole new dimension a time each of us looks for- ward to and we're all so much happier and understanding because el it. I can't imagine how I ever thought I had no time for these precious moments with the girls,' muses Janie. It seems to me she listened and heard what God has to say to her in this area, at least. We all need to do more listening to God and less talking. He can get through to us in a number of ways '... through the Bible and the teachings of the church; very often through comments from our friends and relatives (though we don't usually like this kind of guidance). Or, like my friend Janie, he can come into our minds if we will just give him the chance. There would be more answered prayers if we didn't so often 'ask amiss' and if we listened harder.
