A Prayer For Listening And Obeying

Father, we don’t want to merely listen to Your Word and so deceive ourselves thinking that we have fulfilled the law of Christ. Instead, we want to listen and apply Your truths, thereby obeying Your commands and honoring You in all we think, say and do. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; shape and fashion us in Your likeness so that the light of Christ will be seen in us through our acts of love, our deeds of faith, and our words of truth. Fulfill in us Your purposes for Your own glory and honor we pray. Amen.
