Trying Too Hard

Straining to hear
she turns off the music.
Still, unable to hear
she closes the window
to block out the sounds of life below.
Concentrating so hard
she longs to hear His voice!
But, instead a 1000 other voices interrupt.
Agendas, to do lists and should have done lists,
she intentionally tries to ignore them.

Feeling defeated and disappointed,
she determines He's not speaking.
So, she give up the fight,
relaxes her tired ears...
and suddenly...she hears.

That sure does sound familiar!! Been there a thousand times. It's soooo hard to quiet those voices, but so worth it when we do.
