alone

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.  Psalm 46:10-  this isn't a request God makes but a command.

I lift up my eyes to the hills.  From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.  Psalm 121:1-2-  I get the picture David was alone when he penned that verse.

ALONE- having no-one else present; on ones own.  indicating that something is confined to the specified subject or recipient.

when I'm alone with God am I really making HIM the specified subject or recipient or am I still me focused? -

Me-

A- afraid
L- lost
O- offended
N- noticed by no one
E- excluded

A- approval of others
L- looking for acceptance
O- others thoughts drive me
N- nothing of value
E- envy

Alone with God and I hear something different

A- aware
L- loved
O- open
N- new
E- excited

A- all that I need
L- lead by him
O- overcomer
N- not alone
E- encouraged

A- adopted- His child
L- level headed
O- obedient
N- not lacking
E- enough

1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father as lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

getting alone with God making him the sole recipient of my thoughts and ridding myself of the opinions of others allows him the opportunity to lavish his perfect love over every part of me.
