Prayer

Jesus repeatedly said 'he who has ears to hear, let him hear' (Matthew 11:15) — an invitation to listen deeply to Him.

Father, I confess that my ears often hear but don't truly listen. There's so much noise, so many distractions pulling my attention away from Your voice. Open my ears today — not just to sound, but to meaning. Help me hear what You're actually saying to me through Your Word, not what I want to hear. Soften my stubborn heart. Make me a discerning listener who acts on what I learn. In Jesus' name, Amen.
