Samuel is a boy serving at the temple. He hears his name in the night and runs to Eli. Three times. Finally Eli figures it out — God is calling.
Eli tells him what to say next time. So Samuel goes back, lies down, and when the voice comes again, he says, 'Speak, for your servant hears.'
Most of our prayers are the other way around. Hear, for your servant speaks.
There would be a quiet revolution in our lives if we flipped it back. Speak. Your servant is finally listening.
