On Sunday I encouraged you to pray daily the prayer that Eli taught Samuel: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:9).  Have you heard God speak yet this week?  Have you sensed a leading or prompting of the Holy Spirit?  Have you been guided in tangible ways?  Tell me about it.  Let’s [...]
