Clothed in Grace: You Are LovedSample

FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO LISTEN

To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.

Proverbs 18:13

Heavenly Father,

I once heard someone say that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. That’s something to think about, especially for those of us who are quick to answer and slow to hear what is being said. I pray for my sisters who struggle with being argumentative or defensive, especially with their husbands. I pray that God gives them the spirit of being a good listener. I pray you give them patience and the desire to pray and think before answering. I pray for this change because I know it can make huge differences in relationships with their spouse, co-workers, friends, and children. The mouth is the most difficult muscle to control, and words are powerful. May they speak power in Your name, Jesus!

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

YOU GO, GIRL

Are you a good listener? What’s an example of how you could’ve been a better listener? How will you change?
