DAILY BREAD — Listening That Leads to Life
​
ADVICE:
Therefore, consider carefully how you listen. Luke 8:18

PROMISE:
Give ear and come to Me; listen, that you may live. Isaiah 55:3

​PRAYER:
Give me understanding, so that I may keep Your law and obey it with all my heart. Psalm 119:34

Almighty God, Heavenly Father,
I come before You asking not merely to hear, but to hear rightly. Guard me from a careless or divided attention to Your Word. Draw me near, that in listening I may truly live. Let Your voice penetrate beyond my thoughts into my affections and will, so that Your truth reshapes my entire life.

Lord Jesus Christ,
You are the Word made flesh, the Shepherd whose sheep know His voice. Teach me to sit at Your feet with humility and expectancy. Deliver me from selective obedience, and form in me a readiness to receive and respond. May Your teaching take root deeply and bear fruit that endures.

Holy Spirit,
grant understanding that leads to faithful keeping of God’s law. Illuminate the Scriptures, convict where needed, comfort where wounded, and strengthen where weak. Create in me a wholehearted obedience—steady, joyful, and grounded in love—so that my listening becomes living faith.

​Amen.
