The Wisdom of Listening
Grant me the wisdom of listening, Lord . . .
of listening
to words that are spoken
and to words not spoken . . .
of “hearing” what I am listening to . . .
of ciphering what I hear . . .
Help me to know
that sometimes
the best response I can give
to what I hear is that
of words not spoken . . .
of silence that waits for You
to make Your Presence known . . .
of quiet that waits for You
to speak in a look or a touch . . .
When I falter,
when I stumble over words
that stick somewhere behind my throat,
when no words come at all,
make me aware
that sometimes
just” being there”
can say so much more
than any words can say . . .
and that in my “being there,”
You can say:
I love you.
I care what happens to you.
I will not abandon you.
I am with you always.

Great article. Many times we need to listen more to what is not said than what is said. May God give you that discernment. We all need it. GOD BLESS YOU
