A Scripture and a Prayer: “Opened to Listen”

“So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.” (Hebrews 2:1)

Prayer:

Lord, You have asked us to keep our ears open so we can listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying and to be careful to follow His lead, because it is easy to drift away from the truth when we are not anchored in Your word, in Your will, and in Your ways. Help us, Lord, not to be indifferent to the needs of others and not to neglect what Your word says about how we are to live as Christians. Help us, Lord, to walk by the Spirit so we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
