When life is too Loud to Hear God’s Voice.

Thoughts overwhelming me. Emotions pulling in every direction.  What am I doing?  Am I successful?  Will my kids walk into their calling?  Do I help and support my husband’s needs?  Is the ministry I lead thriving? Am I involved in so many good things that I feel torn?  Where am I suppose to be?   What is my purpose outside of wife, mom, sister, friend, or position?  Do I have a purpose?  Does God truly want me? How do I quiet this noise? Is it possible to hear God over everything that is screaming at me?

Quiet the Noise and Hear God’s Voice.

We all have moments in our life where we question what we are doing? Does it matter? Am I making a difference. I know I do.  When my mind races with doubt and self questions, the only successful thing I found is to make space to hear God. God begins to speak louder the more I get in the Word.   In these moments, the Word comes alive and catches me instantly. As I listen for God’s voice, I feel His peace settling deep within my heart.  Often times I will read, pray and sit silently in His presence continually seeking Him until I can break through.

Listening for God’s Voice Without Rushing.

Proverbs 3:21-22 says, “My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover discernment, Don’t ever forget how they empower you.  For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right; you will be energized and be refreshed by the healing they bring.”  (TPT)

Proverbs mentions two goals I should have for myself. I should walk in Wisdom and discovering discernment.

Walking in sound and godly wisdom is a lifestyle I can choose to yield myself to. But what about discovering discernment?  Other translations use words like discretion, purpose or plan.  As I discover my purpose and His plan for my life, old thoughts and feelings fade away.  The purpose and plan the Lord has for me becomes an empowerment that can’t be stopped. 

Trusting God’s Voice When the Answer Isn’t Loud.

Walking in my call stops me from comparing myself to others. I am not them, and they are not me.  My calling and anointing or different therefore I do not have the grace to operate as they do.  I have an assignment from heaven for such a time as this.  I choose to fulfill my assignment, and let God have the outcome.   As the Lord leads me, so I will lead my family and ministry I am involved in.  Listening for God allows Him to unveil areas of my purpose and plan on a deeper level within my heart. A refreshing excitement begins to occur.   A healing begins to take place.

I pray as you read along with me in my journey that the Lord deepens your revelation of your purpose and plan as well. As these revelations settle within your heart, feel the breath of heaven blowing across you. Allow Him to revive and energize you to continue on.
