Give Ear?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask you to give ear to their cry. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Today, some people are so preoccupied with themselves that their listening skills have deteriorated.
Studies indicate that even though people rank high when it comes to listening to their bosses at work, they often have poorer listening habits when it comes to interactions with family.
In Psalm 39:12-13, the psalmist, David, pleads with the Lord to listen:
“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers.
Look away from me, that I may smile again,
before I depart and am no more!”
Avoid selective hearing and poor listening habits. Make every effort to become attentive. Go ahead. Ask the Lord to hear the cry of your heart.
