We are ready to listen—For illumination

We are ready to listen—For illumination

We are ready to listen

  Healing, sovereign God,

    overmatch our resistant ears

    with your transforming speech.

  Penetrate our jadedness and fatigue.

  Touch our yearnings by your words.

  Through your out-loudness, draw us closer to you.

  We are ready to listen.

  Amen.
