you hear me, god

It seems like one of the truly important things that have been lost in our culture is the gift of conversation. We talk at each other but too often do not really hear one another. Certainly older folks suffer from this as their circle of family and friends constricts. When some needs help getting to a doctor's office or to get groceries it is sometimes difficult to share our lives with them without sounding like we resent the time spent.

Teenagers seem to me to be particular adrift as everyone's schedule becomes more and more frenetic and the embarrassment and uncertainties of the child-to-adult transitions present challenges. My grandparents went on their honeymoon in a horse-drawn buggy a hundred years ago so I am particularly concerned with keeping up with tech-savvy grandchildren for another forty years. I'm grateful for Google conference and Whats App, but I long to cuddle up with my youngest grandchild and sing him to sleep before he is too embarrassed to do that.

But through all the changes I am so grateful I don't have to keep up with technology to have an open line to God, who knows my needs before I do and longs to hear me open my heart to my God, who has both desire and capacity to help me to my personal highest good no matter the current circumstances,
​
I can affirm with confidence and hope: YOU HEAR ME, GOD.

Psalm 4:3 Know this: the Lord takes 
personal care of the faithful. The Lord will hear me when I cry out to him.
