Prayer to the Angels:
I come before you with humility and gratitude, recognizing the divine guidance and protection you have bestowed upon me throughout my life. Your unwavering presence fills my heart with comfort and reassurance.
Today, I humbly ask for a special gift: the power of Active Listening. Help me attune my ears to the whispers of the world around me, to truly hear the words and emotions of others. Grant me the ability to listen without judgment, to set aside my preconceived notions, and to be fully present in every conversation and interaction.
Guide me to comprehend not only the words spoken but also the underlying feelings and intentions behind them. May I discern the unspoken messages, the subtle nuances, and the unsaid needs of those I encounter. Help me be attentive to the silences, for sometimes the most profound expressions lie within the spaces between words.
Teach me patience, that I may not rush to respond but instead allow others the time they need to express themselves fully. In the moments of conversation, help me resist the urge to interrupt, and instead, grant me the wisdom to wait for the appropriate time to share my thoughts.
With your guidance, may I learn to ask thoughtful questions, showing genuine interest in others' lives and experiences. Help me cultivate empathy, so I may step into their shoes and understand their joys, sorrows, and challenges.
Guardian Angels, infuse me with the strength to stay focused and undistracted during conversations, even in this fast-paced and ever-changing world. Help me overcome the temptations of technology and busyness, so I may give my full attention to those who seek my companionship and support.
As I strive to become an active listener, may I build deeper connections with the people around me, fostering love, understanding, and compassion. May my presence bring comfort, solace, and encouragement to those in need.
I trust in your divine wisdom, knowing that you will assist me in developing this essential skill. I thank you for the love and guidance you offer unconditionally.
In the name of the Divine Source, I pray for the blessing of active listening.
Amen.
