“You see and recognize what is right
but refuse to act on it.
You hear with your ears,
but you don’t really listen.”—Isaiah 42:20 (NLT)
Merciful LORD,
Help me not only to see and recognize what is right, but to act on it—to listen for every prompting of Your Spirit, and be willing to respond with eager obedience to everything I hear You ask of me.
When I already know the
right thing to do, help me not to hesitate to do it—knowing that my obedience
to Your Word is a direct reflection of my love for you, and will be used by You
to bring glory to Yourself.
In all my hearing, help me
only to listen to Your Voice—knowing that You will tell me everything that I need
to know in order to accomplish Your plan for my life, and will lead me into
every good thing that You have for me.
Help me to walk, with You,
in faith, the path that You unfold before me—knowing that Your very best for me
can only be found as I trust in Your unfailing love for me, and return that
love to You through my heartfelt obedience.
Help me not only to see and recognize what is right, but to act on it—to listen for every prompting of Your Spirit, and be willing to respond with eager obedience to everything I hear You ask of me.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
