• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:44
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 1:48
  - Rocha.
• 1:50
  - Today's prayer focus is how to hear God
• 1:52
  - through his word.
• 1:54
  - Scripture text comes from John ten twenty seven
• 1:56
  - and says, my sheep listen to my voice.
• 1:59
  - I know them and they follow me.
• 2:04
  - Many believers pray, God speak to me,
• 2:07
  - while overlooking one of the primary ways he
• 2:09
  - has already chosen to speak
• 2:12
  - his word.
• 2:15
  - We may search for a sign,
• 2:17
  - wait for a feeling
• 2:19
  - or hope for an unmistakable
• 2:21
  - answer
• 2:22
  - while our Bible remains unopened.
• 2:26
  - We sometimes expect God's direction to arrive dramatically,
• 2:31
  - but often he leads through the truth he's
• 2:34
  - already given us.
• 2:36
  - The more familiar we become with scripture,
• 2:39
  - the better equipped we are to recognize
• 2:41
  - what aligns with God's character and truth.
• 2:46
  - Prayer and scripture work beautifully together.
• 2:50
  - We read God's word, then talk with him
• 2:52
  - about what we've read.
• 2:55
  - We can ask,
• 2:57
  - what does this teach me about you?
• 3:00
  - Or
• 3:00
  - what are you showing me about my life?
• 3:04
  - Or how about
• 3:06
  - how should I respond?
• 3:09
  - Prayer returns Bible reading into
• 3:12
  - relationship.
• 3:15
  - That being said,
• 3:16
  - let's pray.
• 3:19
  - Heavenly father,
• 3:21
  - thank you that you have not left us
• 3:24
  - without direction.
• 3:26
  - Teach us to recognize your voice
• 3:28
  - through your word.
• 3:30
  - Give us wisdom to under understand scripture
• 3:33
  - and discernment
• 3:34
  - to distinguish
• 3:36
  - your truth from
• 3:37
  - our own feelings and desires.
• 3:41
  - Help us listen carefully
• 3:42
  - and respond obediently
• 3:44
  - to what you reveal.
• 3:47
  - And may your word become increasingly familiar
• 3:49
  - as we grow closer to you.
• 3:52
  - In Jesus' name, amen.
• 3:56
  - The next time you ask God for direction,
• 4:00
  - spend time in his word as part of
• 4:02
  - that conversation.
