Are You Listening?

Prayer of St. Anslem of Canterbury

Teach me to seek you,

and reveal yourself to me as I seek;

for unless you instruct me

I cannot seek you,

and unless you reveal yourself

I cannot find you.

Let me seek you in desiring you;

let me desire you in seeking you.

Let me find you in loving you;

let me love you in finding you.

This is a great prayer to use at the beginning of each day. It gives us some perspective on our relationship with God.

After all, our faith journey is a conversation, not a monologue. We speak a lot, but do we ever listen? What is God trying to tell you today? Will you slow down long enough to hear? Think of what you might miss if you don't!
