Why?

A friend from CA called about how they were doing these days and they were worried about a friend. We talked for a little while about some of her concerns and how she might respond to this woman's troubles. She mainly needed an ear to listen to her talk and she figured most of it out for herself.
We are like that a lot I think. We sometimes need an ear to hear our concerns and sometimes in the midst of sharing our concerns we hear in our own words the answer to our own questions.
Is that not prayer....? yes it is...it's prayer.
It's a prayer. We talk to God and God hears our prayers...
and sometimes while we are talking to God... God hears our prayers and gives us the answers in our questions.. in our own words... or in the words of a friend who listens...until we share the answer to questions...
so listen, to your prayers, and God's answers...

God abides
