Trinity Voices

Lord Give Me the Courage to Hear Just Your Voice

Every day I hear many voices. I choose to listen to some while I ignore others. I choose to do this, but avoid doing that. And after each choice is made, one voice grows stronger while another is diminished.

And I make my choice - I control my life.

Choices are hard and sometimes it takes courage to make them. There is always a lot to consider. Is this the way to go? Is this the right thing to do? What are my peers going to think? Should I do that? I would be afraid and there are others to do the work. So much to weigh and consider.

And I make my choice - I control my life.

But what if I relinquish control of my life to God? If I watch for and listen to the voice of God that is within me? God's voice would become stronger. Yes, each and every time that I listen to and follow God's voice it would become stronger. God would have more control to lead me and to help me, making it easier to serve God and help make God's dreams come true.

So this is my prayer to you, my God. Please give me the wisdom to choose the right path, compassion to feel the need, give me the courage to hear just your voice, and the strength to do what you need.

Bob Lilly
