Learning to Listen More

As we consider the previous post on pursing God, the following prayer by A.W. Tozer seems only fitting:

Lord, teach me to listen.  The times are noisy and my 

ears are weary with thousand raucous sounds which 

continuously assault them.  Give me the spirit of the 

boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for 

thy servant heareth" (1 Samuel 3:10).  Let me hear Thee speaking

in my heart.  Let me get used to the sound of 

Thy Voice, that its tones may be familiar when the 

sounds of earth die away and the only sound

will be the music of Thy speaking Voice.  Amen.
