The decision is made. Today’s article will be about hearing God. The concept starts with questions. Common questions.

  • Where is God in this ____? 
  • Are my prayers heard, or are they just white noise to the Creator of all?
  • I never seem to get answers to my life-altering cries for help. Does He care?
  • God found ways to talk with the Old Testament people. Why did He stop talking?

Over time, I’ve collected materials that offer help for these common concerns. Some articles get deep. Other writers provide lists of 3, 5, or 10 things we can do to better hear from God.
