Lord, we live in a nation where your word is rare and prophetic visions are not widespread. And just like Eli’s eyesight was failing, so is the spiritual eyesight of so many in our land.
But like Samuel, I want to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Reveal yourself to me through your Word as you did to Samuel. And through me, speak to those around me.
Let me not be afraid to tell people what you have said, even when it’s hard to hear. Help me to tell them all you have said, hiding nothing.
And as I speak, let them see my love for them. More importantly, let them see your love for them.
Use me today to bring your words of life to my family, my friends, my coworkers, and my students. And may they find the grace and salvation that I have found in you.
In my life and in theirs, let none of your words fall to the ground, but may they accomplish everything you intend them to do. In Jesus’ name, amen.
