Reflection

“Know this…everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” ~James 1:19

Prayer

God who hears,

You listen to us with perfect attention, never distracted, never judging—only present in love. Teach us to offer that same gift to those who come to us, especially in moments of need or struggle. Help us to be fully present, to quiet our own thoughts, and to listen with compassion and care. May our attentiveness bring comfort, understanding, and healing. In following your example, may others come to know they are deeply valued and heard. For the sake of love, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be attentive to all those I meet today, truly listening to what they are saying.
