Opening Prayer: Lord, may I walk this day confident that I am fully seen, deeply heard, and endlessly loved by God—and may that assurance overflow into the way I listen to others. Amen
- Read Psalm 116:1-2 NIV “I love the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy. Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live!
- Read Isaiah 65:24 NIV “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”
God doesn’t just SEE you, He HEARS you. He hears before you finish speaking. He responds before you finish crying. He leans His ear toward you, He leans in!
Take a moment to let that soak in. The God of the universe bends close to hear your whisper!! You matter. He SEES you and HEARS you!
When we understand how attentively God listens to us, we begin to reflect the same posture toward others. We begin to lean in. We soften. We make space. We begin to listen more like God. After all, we are created in His image.
Truth: Listening imitates God because God listens first.
Prayer: Thank You for hearing me, Lord. Help me mirror Your attentiveness to others.
