Your Question:
Is God even listening to me?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've found that many people struggle with feeling like God isn't listening to them. They may not have received an audible response, and that can lead to feelings of frustration and doubt. But I want to assure you, God is not deaf. He hears every prayer we pray, and He always answers. Sometimes, the answer may be no, but that doesn't mean He's not listening. The issue often lies within us, not with God. When we're not devoted to Him, we can become deaf to His voice. We get distracted by other things in life, and our attention is drawn away from Him. But God is always seeking to communicate with us, to speak to us in ways that we can understand. The problem is, we may not be listening. We may be so focused on our own desires and agendas that we're not open to hearing what God has to say. But even in silence, God is speaking. His stillness is contagious, and it can bring us to a place of perfect confidence, where we can say, "I know that God has heard me." It's not about getting an audible response; it's about being open to His presence in our lives. When we learn to listen, we can invite God's presence into our lives, and that's when the real transformation begins. So, I encourage you to seek God's presence, to listen for His voice, and to trust that He is always speaking, even in the silence.
