Prayer for May 12, 2026

May I listen today, O God.  It is easy to get lost in the rhythm of the day and not hear all that we might, or should.  Let me take the time to process what I hear before I respond.  Give me the judgement to know the difference between what requires a quick response and what is meant to require more thought.  I know you gave me two ears and one mouth, may I always remember the advice to listen twice as much as I speak.  May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart always be guided by you, O God.  Amen
