“May the words that come out of my mouth and the musings of my heart meet with Your gracious approval, O Eternal, my Rock, O Eternal, my Redeemer.” (Psalms 19: 14, the Voice)

This prayer is a pause for instruction. It’s leaving space for wisdom to reveal the right way to think and the right thing to say.

This is more than stopping for self-reflection, rumination, or judgment. It is this conscious desire to align our hearts and our actions with God’s purpose. We can humbly listen with the intention of pleasing God with the thoughts we think as well as the words we say. We can seek God’s approval because His way is right and His law is our protection, our strength, our rock.

God is indeed gracious. Let’s honor this grace and goodness by doing our best to hear God’s right thoughts for each moment, and then speaking in a way that God, Love, would approve of. Or, we can choose to stay silent in God’s presence, letting Him reveal harmony, peace, the ideal answer and action for us and for all.

We were made to hear God’s voice and to act accordingly. It is our most natural state of being. We can humbly and eagerly still the distracting ego, listen to God, and express ourselves in ways that make Him glad, that make Him known.
