"Did you Hear That?"

Hearing God’s Voice: Learning to Listen in the Quiet

Sometimes we expect God’s voice to be loud — a clear sign, a booming message, something impossible to miss. But most of the time, it’s much softer than that. It’s a quiet nudge in your heart, a sudden sense of peace when you’re overwhelmed, or a thought that feels gentler and wiser than anything you could’ve come up with on your own.

Hearing God’s voice often means slowing down enough to listen. It’s found in the still moments — during prayer, in silence, in nature, or even in the ordinary moments of the day when your heart is open. You might hear it in a quiet whisper: “You’re not alone. Keep going. I’m right here.”

One thing to remember: God’s voice doesn’t sound like fear or shame. It doesn’t rush you or confuse you. It brings clarity, comfort, and hope. Often, it confirms what you already sense deep down — nudging you toward peace and purpose.

If you’re wondering if it’s really Him, ask yourself: Does this feel rooted in love? Does it draw me closer to peace, kindness, and purpose? If yes, trust it.

The more we make space for stillness — even just a few minutes each day — the more familiar that quiet, steady presence becomes.
