Bible Basis: 1 Samuel 3
Key Verse: God (point up) has surely listened (cup ears with hands). He has heard (continue cupping ears) my prayer (fold hands in prayer posture). Psalm 66:19 (extend hands like you’re holding a book).

Lord, open now my heart to hear, And through your Word to me draw near. Let me your Word ever pure retain; Let me your child and heir remain. All this I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
