Listening to God

"Listening to God" By Diane Webb

Psalms 77: 6—"I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search."

Answers do not lie outside of you. The Holy Spirit speaks to you through your heart and your own spirit. Do not seek answers somewhere "out there". A knowing is present in your heart when you accept Jesus into it first. You understand there is a different feeling inside when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you. It is not anywhere in your head. Thoughts will often mislead. Search your spirit for God's answers. Ask God to lead, guide, and direct you through your spirit and your heart. Some people call this instinct but you know instinct—that gut feeling—is really the Holy Spirit. Trust that still, quiet voice you hear in the night—not the anxious, doubtful, fearful voice—but God's voice which gives a gentle, peaceful feeling—a realization, an inspiration, an insight based on pure truth not distorted thoughts. Listen and you will hear.

Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me of anything that would hinder my prayers today. Help me, Lord, tune into the Holy Spirit at all times. Help me discern the voice of God and block the voice of Satan. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
