Listening for God’s Voice Through Challenges

Mar 26, 2025 by Sallie Dawkins

In You Can Hear the Voice of God Through All Your Spiritual Senses, I delve into the profound ways we can discern God’s voice amidst life’s challenges. My own journey, marred by medical struggles over the past twenty months, has taught me the importance of remaining receptive to God's guidance even when prayer feels difficult. During this time, listening to the Bible and engaging with worship music helped to shift my focus from my troubles to God's greatness. Intentional practices like journaling scripture and seeking community prayer, fostered an environment that invited divine communication.

Join me in this blog post as we explore how to cultivate our ability to hear Him clearly, nurturing our relationship with the Creator despite life’s storms.
