God Bless My Child With A Listening Ear

Awaken his hearing, I ask for my son, remove the deafening noise which may distort a Word of instruction or encouragement from You.

Give him the kind of ear that is listening for truth.

Above all the voices he will hear in his lifetime, may Your voice ring thunderous through his heart.

Unmistakably, let Your voice be known above the murmurs of men and busyness that will barter for his time.

Speak loud and strong till he knows the dialect and tone of Your voice.

From an instant cry of warning to Your gentle reassurance, may his response to You be without hesitation.

Sharpen his ear to hear beyond the words of man.  May my son hear the cries of the hurting.  When a brother’s heart cannot be conveyed in words, let my son hear the unspoken.  Ring the bell of the silent so loudly that it reaches his heart.

 
Thank you for turning Your ear toward us and being a listening kind of God. You are a God that knows the voices of Your children and so amazingly responds to our cry.

Accept the praise of our lips. We are so grateful to know You as our Father.

In the Name of Jesus---Amen
