God, teach me to hear, trust and believe what you say. And to put what you say into practice.

Main message: God gives wisdom to those who ask for a "hearing heart"; believers should ask God to make them teachable so they can truly hear, trust, and apply his word.

Key points:

• Ask God for a hearing heart rather than relying on familiarity or intellect alone.
• Pray for a teachable spirit and for God to show places of dullness or defensiveness.
• Recognize that over-familiarity with truth can blunt its effect on the heart.
• Learn to hear what God says, trust and believe it, and put it into practice.
• Let God’s word and wisdom lead your life.
