The document discusses being awakened to our inadequacy and need for dependence on God. It notes how God gives us the ability to speak to others in need, but that we are naturally dull and unable to do this on our own. We must depend on God daily to awaken us and guide our words, as he opens our ears to hear, just as Jesus depended fully on God during his ministry. The conclusion urges recognizing our inability to fulfill our desires without God awakening and enabling us from within.
