A Prayer for When We’re Not Ready to Hear

Loving God,

Sometimes we hear something

we’re not ready to receive—

and we turn away,

close ourselves off,

or resist what is being said.

Not always because it is wrong,

but because it asks something of us

we’re not yet prepared to give.

Meet us in those moments.

Not with pressure—

but with patience.

Not with force—

but with a steady invitation

we can grow into.

Give us the courage

to remain open

just a little longer—

to listen

just a little more closely—

and to allow

what we are hearing

to settle within us over time.

Help us to…
