Speak to Me, Lord

John 13:16

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.

We must train ourselves to listen for God's voice in our lives.  Listening to God is an acquired gift.  It is a byproduct of discipline and obedience.  We must set aside time to tune into God's voice.  The tuning comes from setting aside time for reading the Word, prayer and meditation on the Word and personal praise and worship.  When we are obedient in the small things, God will reveal Himself to us in all aspects of our lives - both big and small.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, speak to us.  Open our ears so that we can hear you at all times.  Help us to overcome the distractions of the world so that Your voice is not drowned out.  Strengthen us so that we can be diligent in the small things that we need to do to prepare ourselves to hear your voice.
