Lord, Deliver me from the uncircumcised ear.
Give me the Opened Ear of the Learner, Awakened Morning by Morning to Hear the Father’s Voice.
Even as You Speak Only what You Hear, may my Speaking be the Echo of Your Speaking to me.
To the degree that we Listen to the Voice and Language God Speaks, and in God’s Words Receive His Thoughts, His Mind, His Life, into our Heart, we will Learn to Speak in the Voice and the Language that God Hears.
It is the Ear of the Learner, Awakened Morning by Morning, that Prepares for the Tongue of the Learned to Speak to God as well as to men.
