Ears to Hear

That still, soft voice
that small voice, whispering
calling from within us
from the circumstances of our lives
from the people we meet, the lives
we touch in our daily walk
May we have ears to hear that voice
that calling from God
from the everyday, things we can do
to do the things we can do
This is our prayer, heavenly Father,
for ears that will hear, that will yearn
that will long for your still small voice
calling out to us to be your servant
to be your sheep, to be your disciples
in this troubled world
coming to you,
and serving you
listening with our ears, with our hearts
ready, prepared, humbly doing
your will alone

Unison Prayer, written by Pastor Ruth L. Foss,
“Creator, Sustainer, Almighty God, you who are the giver
of all wisdom. Enable us to set aside the world to worship
you in your temple. We pray that you would give us eyes to
see your presences in all things around us, ears to hear
your still small voice, and a heart that is pliable to your
molding so that we may worship you in Spirit and in truth.
It is is the name of the babe in the manger so long ago, our
Lord Jesus Christ, that we pray. Amen.”
Psalm 148
Isaiah 61:10-62:3
Galatians 4:4-7
