Despite what Apple’s marketers might want you to believe, you can’t pray with your iPods‘ earbuds in your ears, no matter how hard you pray. Praying is to be a time of talking to, but more importantly listening to, God.

If you’re also busy listening to Ted Pearce, Sue Samuel, or even Paul Wilbur, you can’t exactly hear the L-RD above the din. While music can be used by God to speak to you, it’s important to remember to let Him use his own inner voice, the still small one, at least once in a while, and not limit him to only speaking to you through song lyrics… no matter how wholesome the praise chorus may be.
