Read Psalm 19. Consider the words of the Psalm. What speaks most personally to you?
How do you sense God speak to you? What’s the primary way in which He speaks?
Read 1 Samuel 3.1-10. In what ways are Eli and Samuel different? How do you see God speaking to both of them?
The phrase, “Speak, Lord for your servant is listening” is prominent in the text. How do you typically speak to God when you desire to hear Him?
Reread 1 Samuel 3:1. Why was the voice of the Lord not heard often? What’s the implication of this verse on your life today?
For the rest of this study, let’s take time to practice listening to God. Be free to listen however God invites you to listen, or you can continue to follow this guide in working through a few of the seasons of prayer we used on Sunday.
Begin by settling yourself and then speak to God, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Read Romans 8 aloud and ask God to speak to you through His Word.
Choose a favorite song or hymn and play it allowing God to speak to you through the song. On Sunday, we listened to “Come to Me” by Jenn Johnson. You can listen to the song by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=sY0Vz8fvIhE
Spend some time in silence listening to God. Begin the season of silence by again saying, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Take a few moments and intercede for someone specific in our Faith Family. Allow God to lead you as you speak to Him.
Lastly, consider the Priestly Blessing that is spoken over our Faith Family every Sunday. Take some time to sit with this blessing. Ask God to speak to you as you review it, speaking it out loud.
“‘The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” – Numbers 6.24-26
