Opening Prayer: Continue to have mercy upon me, O Lord, to
stir me from the doldrums of sin, to deliver me from my selfish involvements,
to forgive me my sins and failures, to shore up the weak places in my
life. Help me to feel something of Your
loving acceptance and to reflect to others the joy of being Your son and
servant. Amen. (Psalms/Now by
Leslie Brandt)
Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:1-20
Journal: How will you make yourself aware of the voice of
God in your heart and life during this season of Advent? How will you make space to listen? Who will be your Eli?
Reflection:
Take all your present perplexities then to
Jesus. Tell Him you only want to know
and obey his voice, and ask Him to make it plain to you. Promise Him that you will obey, whatever it
may be. Believe implicitly that He is
guiding you, according to His word.
Surrender all the doubtful things until you have a clearer light. Look and listen for His dear voice
continually, and the moment you are sure of it yield an immediate
obedience. (The Christian’s Secret of
a Happy Life by Hannah Whitall Smith)

Closing Prayer: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.
Amen.
