Learning to Listen

/

Psalm 85:8 – “I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people.”

Our world runs on noise — notifications, headlines, opinions. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if we’re truly hearing God or just reacting to everything else.

But listening to God often starts with creating space. Silence isn’t empty; it’s full of presence. When we quiet the outer noise, we can hear the whisper of wisdom we’ve been missing.

Try this: the next time you feel overwhelmed, don’t reach for your phone — take a walk without music, or sit in stillness for five minutes and simply ask, “Lord, what would You have me notice today?”

God’s voice isn’t loud, but it’s always near.

Reflection questions:

  • When was the last time you felt God speak clearly?

  • What keeps you distracted from His voice?

  • How can you build stillness into your daily rhythm?
