Dear God,

This morning after my devotional reading, I entered into my time of prayer.  But you stopped me.  You simply asked me to listen.  As I quieted myself and listened, pictures of people and situations appeared before me.  Each was a troubling scene.  At the same time I heard a bird sing and then another.  It seemed you were saying we are to sing even in a season of darkness.

You reveal whatever it is we need to see and hear, O Lord, when we are ready to stop talking and start listening.  You want to speak to us.  You want to tell us what is on your heart.  You want us to see the plight of others.  You want to recenter us.

Move me
to your side,
O Lord.
Open my mind,
my heart,
and my soul.
Speak to me
and help me
to hear,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
