Speak, Lord. I am your servant, and I am listening.
~ 1 Samuel 3:9 (ERV)
There was a woman there named Lydia from the city of Thyatira. Her job was selling purple cloth. She was a worshiper of the true God. Lydia was listening to Paul, and the Lord opened her heart to accept what Paul was saying.
~ Acts 16:14 (ERV)
Lord God, I talk so much that I have trouble listening. I realize that I cannot move forward in my walk with you until I really learn to listen. Help me to do this. Help me to become a quiet person living a quiet life, so that I can hear when you are talking. I desire to be a good listener, for you have so many important things to say to me. Amen.
