Many of us are uncomfortable with silence therefore we succumb to the temptation to fill our lives with a noisy busyness. Talking becomes our primary way of communicating, and we end up exchanging information without really connecting with one another. The same thing often happens in our prayer life. We end up talking rather than listening and as a consequence our spiritual life is diminished.
“And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!”
— 1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”
Lord, teach us to listen to Your still small voice; give us ears to hear, a heart to receive, a will to obey and faith to act. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
