1 Samuel 3:9 (New International Version)
So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down,
and if he calls you,
say, 'Speak, LORD,
for your servant is listening.' "
So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
d. Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears: Samuel is given wise counsel by Eli. Eli tells Samuel to make himself available for God to speak (Go, lie down); he tells Samuel to not be presumptuous about God speaking (if He calls you); he tells Samuel to respond to the word of God (Speak, LORD); and he tells Samuel to humble himself before God and His word (Your servant hears).
