Help Me Hear You, God
Lord, You are my God — my Father. I am Your child who adores You. I long to know You more. I yearn to understand the depth of Your love. I want to hear You, God, but there is so much noise, so many distractions, a mountain of responsibilities.
Help me, Lord. Help me shut out the noise and seek You first above all things.
Stir a hunger for Your Word within me.
When I feast on Your Word, I hear Your voice clearer. When I consume Your Word, my mind is restored to peace and replenished and aligns with Your instruction.
But I must be intentional about seeking You first. I must be intentional about spending devoted time studying Your Word — daily, with a fervent and hungry heart.
Will You help me hear You, God? Will You help me declutter my mind and heart, and learn to be still before You?
In the stillness You speak.
In the stillness I hear Your delicate whispers deep in my spirit.
In the stillness I remember that You are God and that nothing must ever take precedence over You.
Help me rearrange my life to put You first in all things. When I put You first, I find peace, my hope is restored, and my strength renewed.
I’m afraid I’m like Paul in many ways: the things I don’t want to do, I do. And the things I do want to do, I don’t! Please forgive me, Lord. I’m so thankful You nudge me with Your Holy Spirit and get my attention. I’m learning to heed that nudge.
Your Quiet Whispers Call My Name
Empower me by Your Spirit to do Your will, to be tenacious in seeking You first regardless of all the noise calling to me. Let me hear Your voice above the fray — Your quiet whispers that call my name.
Bless You, Lord. I give You honor, and glory, and praise, for You alone are the One True God, Maker of heaven and earth. I lift my hands in worship to You.
In the Name of Jesus I pray,
Amen — let it be so

I did a lot of praying and talking to God yesterday. I remember saying to Him, “there’s too much noise in my head and heart and I need to hear You.” Your prayer comes on the heals of a deep longing for God right now to me. Thank you, I love you
