For many of us, listening is an ability that we must develop and practice. Sometimes this means sitting quietly in God's presence without saying anything. Take time out today, be still and listen.
We struggle with situations in our minds and in our emotions, we carry burdens that we do not need to bear because we do not realize how powerful Prayer is! If we did, we would talk to God and listen to what he says about everything not as a last resort, but as a first response. Let Prayer be your first response, not your last result! ~ Joyce Meyers
When God speaks He gives us a deep since of eternal peace to confirm that the message we are hearing is truly from Him. Wait for peace before you act.
God speaks in many ways, through His Word, Nature, People, Circumstances, Dreams, Visions, and what some call a Still Inner Voice. I have heard God's voice in many different ways myself. One was was that inner small voice, another way was through a circumstance. I often pray this: "Lord please speak to me clearly, quickly, and distinctively". When you Pray, you must Obey!
If you want God's plan for your life, Pray and Obey. God has given us the capacity to do both, and if we do it continually, we will be moving right along in HIs will for our life. Pray, Listen with your heart, and Obey what you hear.
Starting your day, and ending your day with God is a great way to establish an intimate relationship with him. Talk to God through prayer and listen to God through meditation.
