Key Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10

Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.

Devotional

Prayer is not complete without listening. 1 Samuel 3:10 reminds us that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. Listening positions us to receive God’s guidance, correction, and comfort.

In busy lives, silence can feel uncomfortable. Yet God often speaks in stillness. When we pause, we create space for His voice to rise above noise and distraction.

Listening prayer requires humility. It invites God to lead rather than simply respond. Through listening, we learn to trust God’s direction more deeply.

Today, practice prayer that listens as much as it speaks.
