Teach me to listen, Lord,
To those nearest to me
My family, my friends, my co-workers.
Help me to be aware that
No matter what words I hear,
Their message is,
‘Accept the person I am. Listen to me.’
Teach me to listen, Lord,
To myself.
Help me to be less afraid,
To trust the voice inside-
In the deepest part of me.
Teach me to listen, Lord,
For Your voice-
In busyness and in boredom,
In certainly and in doubt,
In noise and in silence.
