Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
(Psalm 5.2 NRSV)

---

A mother and her small daughter were discussing the dolls in a department store. "What does it do?" the child would ask about each one. The mother would answer, "It talks," or "It wets," or "It cries."

The dolls were rather expensive, so the mother tried to direct her little girl's interest toward an ordinary one that was more reasonably priced. "Does it do anything?" the child asked.

"Yes," the mother replied, "It listens."

The little girl reached eagerly for the doll.

God also listens to you.

Dear God, thank you for listening. Amen.
