Sometimes it's best to not say anything at all.
I just finished reading this great little article at Heartlight.com. You might want to check it out:
Keep Your Mouth Shut
Although this article talks about thinking before we speak to each other, I couldn't help thinking about the way we sometimes talk to God. So often we go to him with all of our problems, begging him to do something that will change the situation. Don't get me wrong: he wants us to come to him with everything that is on our hearts. But I believe that it is also important for us to listen to him.
What was that, Eric? Did you say listen to God?
Yes. God speaks to us in many different ways. Sometimes its through his word. Sometimes its through his Spirit. Sometimes he speaks to us through the words and actions of another person. Regardless of how he does it, God is always speaking to us in some way. When we learn to be silent and just listen to him, we will find peace. We will find comfort. We will find refuge.
