resisting the urge to run ahead

Aren't we as little children? We are constantly not listening, trying to run all around on our own. We dash forward and jump on and off the pasth, instead of quietly walking with God listening for His instructions on what to do next. Very often my three year old say, "I don't want to hold your hand. I want to walk on my own." Isn't that just the way we are with God? Forever trying to do everything ourselves and following our own ideas instead of listening to a loving someone who knows better.

I feel so restless in my spirit. I need to learn how to be still and walk with God, following his instructions. I need to not only pray more, but listen more.
