Today's Passage: 1 Kings 19:11-12
And [the Lord] said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a low whisper.
Today's Prayer:
Lord, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us. Lord, I confess that I often expect dramatics when anticipating your voice and can overlook the quiet ways you speak to me. Forgive us for the times we let noise, distractions, and fear drown out Your voice. I ask that you continue to teach us to discern Your voice amidst the noise of life. Help us to quiet our hearts and listen for the still, small whisper of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
