Prayer is not monologue but dialogue; God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part. Listening to God’s voice is the secret of the assurance that He will listen to mine. Bow down thine ear and hear (Proverbs 22:17) and Give ear to my words, . . . Hearken unto the voice of my cry (Psalm 5:1-2) are words which God speaks to man as well as man to God.
