A Prayer for our Ears
(Inspired by John 14:23-29 and Acts 16:9-15)
May we hear the voice of your Spirit, O God, teaching us how to love you and keep your commandments. May we hear the voice of your Spirit that teaches and comforts and warns and abides with us, even during difficult times.May we hear the voices of the people you have made, O God, calling to us for help, crying out for a witness to your love and your grace. May we hear the people of Macedonia, or of any other distant land, and may we hear needy voices that are nearby -- voices we have drowned out by the noise of our own cares.
God, give us ears to hear the voice of your Spirit. God give us ears to hear the cries of people asking for help in your name. Amen.
