Apply your heart to instruction

and your ear

    to words of knowledge.

             Proverbs 23. 12

(Practice a teachable heart.

Train ourselves in

           how to listen,

           how to discern,

           and how to respond.

Being teachable

     is not following anything,

but seeking wisdom in everything,

      willing to follow Christ in this,

      and aligning our hearts

                     with His.

How we respond to instruction

       reveals our heart condition.

The wise know

   that they don't know everything,

but can trust the God who does.)

O LORD,

We don't know what to do,

but our eyes are on You.

            2 Chronicles 20.12

Guide our hearts

          as we seek You,

not just a right answer.

Order our steps.

Direct our thoughts.

For Your glory,

       even in this.
