One Voice
October 13, 2019
1 Samuel 3
Here is a prayer: When you speak to me, Lord, I often fail to hear. And when I hear, I often fail to understand. And when I understand, I often fail to obey. The clamorous world around me obscures your voice. Yet even in silence, my noisy soul can drown out the gentle whisper of your Spirit. Give me, I pray, the wisdom of Eli, who knew when your voice was calling. And then give me the obedient heart of Samuel, that I might say to you: “Speak, for your servant is listening!”
