You have seen many things but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing.” (Isa 42:20 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, the stresses and demands of life sometimes cause me to see but not perceive and to hear but not comprehend. Shake me out of my complacency! Do whatever You need to do to get my attention. Help me perceive more of what I see and be aware of Your communication to me. Then, help me act on what I understand. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
