The Son the Father loves dearly and approves

One teacher among several equally important voices

Give Jesus your main attention by hearing his words and doing what he says

Treat Jesus' teaching as helpful, but let your own preferences decide

Wait for a stronger sign before taking his words seriously

Focus on the awe of the moment and postpone obedience

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned, listened to my own voice, and gone my own way. I need your mercy and your saving grace. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and receive you as my Lord. Teach me to hear your voice and follow you from this day forward. Amen.

Lord, Help Me Hear You

Father, revive your Church to honor the Son you love dearly. Where we have been noisy, distracted, or half-listening, give us ears to hear Jesus clearly. Restore reverence, glad obedience, and joyful trust, and let our lives point the world to him, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church to Hear the Son

Choose one area where many voices confuse you. Ask God to make Jesus' words stand out, then ask for one obedient step you can take today.

Pray for a Listening Ear

Thank God that he has spoken clearly about Jesus, the Son he loves dearly and approves of. Give thanks that we are not left to guess whom to trust, and that heaven points us to his Son.

Thank God for His Clear Word

Lord, quiet the noise in me so I can give Jesus my full attention. Help me prize his voice above my preferences and obey what I hear, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Me Quick to Listen

Pray for someone whose heart feels clouded by fear, grief, or confusion: that God would reveal Jesus clearly, that they would hear his voice above the noise, and that they would respond with trust.
