Just a thought.........

Do we ever give God an opporunity to speak to us or are we too busy telling him what we want that at the end of the day we feel like we haven't done anything? I mean, its just like withdrawing money from the bank, I f you dont do something that ensures there is money in the bank, can you really go to the bank to check for anything? I mean, how is it that we expect God to do things when we hardly do much in return?
