The Power of Listening
The Power of Our dear heavenly Father, we are grateful for your steadfast love to each one of us.
We thank you also for wonderful life, good health and bountiful blessing. Please guide us in everything we do and say. Enlighten our minds so that we can understand the daily lessons. Help us to be obedient and polite to our professors, parents religious and community officials. Make us instruments of your peace and love. With this we will become Christ-like.
We also pray for the forgiveness of our sins.
We ask these things in Jesus Name
We pray Amen.

individual sounds and we use our brain to convert these into messages that mean something to us.
