Listening Carefully, Taking To Heart



And he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you.”

—Ezekiel 3:10 (NIV)



Heavenly Father,


Help me to listen to everything that You would say to me and take Your words into my heart—carefully applying Your words to my life—so I might be careful to please You and bring glory to the name of Your Son, Jesus, by my every thought and action.


As I go through my day, help me to never stop listening for the words You would say to me—by the voice of Your Holy Spirit speaking to my spirit.

I know that You are always with me and it is Your desire to be in constant conversation with me. 

Remind me that the most important part, of any conversation that I engage in, is the part when I am not speaking, but rather truly listening to what is being said to me.

You will speak to me throughout every moment of my experience of life—if I will only quiet my mind, and in stillness, listen for Your voice.

Help me to carefully and continuously listen for You to speak to me through Your Word, through the circumstances of life, and through the wisdom of others.

May I always remember to ask of You and be attentive to Your response, so I can understand Your Truth and be transformed—enabled to apply Your words to my life and experience the joy and peace of living in that Truth.


Help me to listen to everything that You would say to me and take Your words into my heart—carefully applying Your words to my life—so I might be careful to please You and bring glory to the name of Your Son, Jesus, by my every thought and action.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
