We don’t know on any given day all that’s playing into why we can’t seem to hear from God. . . .\u00c2\u00a0 But I do know this:\u00c2\u00a0 it can’t be the verdict of how I’m doing with God or how he feels about me in this moment. . . .<\/p>\n
My ability to hear God’s voice on any given day does not change my position in Christ one bit.\u00c2\u00a0 I share this because the last thing I want to introduce into your faith is shame or doubt or some other attack because you’re not hearing clearly right now.\u00c2\u00a0 Taking the journey toward an intimacy with God that includes conversational intimacy is a beautiful thing, full of surprises and gifts from him.<\/p>\n
But it can also send us reeling if we are basing our relationship with God on our ability to hear from him in this moment or on this particular issue. . . .<\/p>\n
So, if you’re not yet hearing, don’t worry.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s okay.\u00c2\u00a0 Keep praying.\u00c2\u00a0 Keep listening.\u00c2\u00a0 Notice what God might be up to other than answering the immediate question.<\/p>\n
