Prayer for a Listening Spirit

Jehovah, my God, Your great sacrifice on the cross and continued love is a tremendous comfort. You always listen to my prayers. Listening to someone is a great act of love. You tell me that I need to be quick to listen and slow to speak and anger. Lord, I feel that I am not practicing this in my marriage. Please give me ears that are attentive to my spouse’s words. Please give me ears that truly hear. Amen.
