Help Us To Listen

Lord Jesus, forgive us for hearing your words of authority, yet listening to the voices of our world.  You healed those whio were blind; heal our "blindness" that keeps us from seeing the path that leads to eternal life.  You healed the dumb; heal us so we may speak to others of the wonder of your life and teachings.  You healed those who were sick; cast out those demons in our lives which make us "sin sick and weary worn!"  You healed those who were lame; heal us so we stop limping through life and walk tall and straissht as we lead others to the path of righteousness.  We cry out to you as did so many in years gone by, "Lord, have mercy on me!"  Hear our cry, O Lord.  Amen.
