in which we can hear you speaking to us,
for your own name's sake.
Lord, you have taught us in your word
that there is a time to speak
and a time to keep silent.
As we thank you for the power of speech,
we pray for the grace of silence.
Make us as ready to listen as we are to talk,ready to listen to your voice in the quietness of our hearts
and ready to listen to other people
who need a sympathetic ear.
Show us when to open our mouths and when to hold our peace
that we may glorify You both in speech and in silence
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
