Prayer for the Hearing Impaired


My heart breaks for those who are enveloped in silence. Those who never hear a bird sing or a brook babble, a baby cry or the whisper of sweet nothings, the wind in the trees as thunder rocks the heavens.

O, God, have mercy on the deaf of this world. Give them unspeakable joy in what they can see and feel as somehow, in your majesty, you bring those senses to life as no hearing person can possibly experience.  And make them so aware of Your presence within that they know their life is not a solitary journey; that silence would not be their prison but rather a place of refuge where they can meet you, hear your voice alone and commune with you there.
