The Art of Listening
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.—James 1:19 (NIV)
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.—Matthew 6:6 (NIV)
Your prayer time with God is private and sacred; whatever you tell Him remains a secret you share. Often in the beginning God’s work within you is hidden, but eventually your spiritual growth will blossom and bear fruit for the world to see.
Dear Lord, I cherish our relationship and trust You wholeheartedly to grace me with Your gifts.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.—James 1:19 (NIV)

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.—2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
