Scripture on Listening To Gods Voice

John 10:27 New Testament
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
1 Samuel 3:9-10 Old Testament
"So Eli told Samuel, 'Go and lie down, and if he calls, say, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."' So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, 'Samuel! Samuel!' Then Samuel said, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.'"
Proverbs 8:34 Old Testament

Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him like sheep who know their Shepherd's voice (John 10:27).

Father, I confess that I fill my life with so much noise—my phone, my worries, my own thoughts—that I miss Your voice. I want to know You the way Samuel did, ready to listen and say 'Speak, Lord.' Quiet my heart today. Help me recognize when You're calling to me through Your Word, through circumstances, through the counsel of others. I'm tired of wandering in confusion. Teach me to listen like You're the most important person in the room—because You are. In Jesus' name, Amen.
