When Prayer Feels Like a Chore, Not a Joy - a 5-Day Devotional to Reset Your Prayer Lifeಮಾದರಿ

Day 4 – Learning to Listen

Scripture:
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27

Devotional Thought:
Sometimes prayer feels like a chore because we treat it as a monologue, not a dialogue. We talk, talk, talk—but never pause to listen. Prayer is not only about speaking to God; it’s about hearing His voice.

God speaks in whispers, in scripture, in gentle nudges of your spirit. When you pause long enough to listen, you realize He’s been speaking all along.

Prayer:
Lord, help me slow down and listen. Teach me to hear Your voice in the stillness and follow Your leading. Amen.

Reflection/Action Step:
After praying today, sit in silence for 5 minutes. Write down anything that comes to your heart—you may be surprised how God speaks.
