Speak Lord

 

Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening!

(1 Samuel 3:9)

Let these prayer of Samuel be my first prayer in my quiet time with the Lord. When I say "Speak Lord!", let me not forget to add: "Because Your servant is listening!" It would be hypocritical if I say, "Speak, Lord’’, when I am not ready to listen" May I pray this prayer with a willingness to listen to His Word, eagerness  to obey His commandments, with delight in His Word.

Speak, Lord, that I may learn your statutes, speak that I may know You, speak that I may walk the narrow path in the light of Your Word. Speak that my mind be renewed,may my life be sanctified, speak so that Your Word fills my heart and leaves no room for anything else.

Speak, Father, for Your daughter is listening.
