Silence or Speak

Ecclesiastes 3:7b (NKJV) "A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;"

This is a difficult balance to accomplish. If you haven't figured out one of my dreams is to learn how to find this balance. I find many times we are silent when we should speak. I find that many of our problems are rooted in our silence. Things like struggles, joy, and problems should be said because many people struggle and when we are silent we think we struggle alone. Many people are joyful but don't share it, God's goodness I think should be shared. Sometimes it is our misconceptions of other peoples words or actions that pull us apart, and other times I talk to much and don't listen to what people are trying to tell me. The problem is it is hard because I worry what other people think about me. I worry because I am not sure about the consequences of saying things (or silence), and this worry drains my energy. I believe that Satan many times revels in our silence. This is where I am learning to trust God, and say it is all yours anyways.

So God this is a prayer for myself and everyone,
that we would learn how to keep our silence when it is needed,
and learn to speak when we need to speak.
God bless us,
God lead us.

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself."
