Praise God! He Hears Our Voices in Prayer

“How can you be sure that what you are hearing is God’s voice and not something you made up on your own?”


One thing that we can know with certainty is that what God tells you will never go against what the Bible says! That’s why learning to pray God’s Word is so important! That is also why reading God’s Word daily and internalizing the scope of God’s plan and absorbing an understanding of His will and plan for our lives and the world is so important to us.

I believe in the importance of reading through the whole Bible. If you are not reading with us in our daily readings (today is Nehemiah 5), I would recommend reading a Psalm each day, then you can branch out to Proverbs, and the Gospels. God will speak to you. The more you know about His Word and what it says, the more you will know if you are really hearing God. Thank Him that He talks to you and that His Word is truth. Here is a Scripture prayer included in the article to get you started:

We can pray: “Father, thank You for promising to talk to me and lead me. Thank You that I can listen to Your voice, that You know me, and that I can follow You (John 10:3,27). Thank You that I can trust Your Word because it is the truth (John 17:17). Amen.”

Here are a couple other verses you could use. Start your own collection, or pause for prayer as you come across verses that speak to you: Psalm 119:89,105; Isaiah 30:21; II Timothy 3:16; Malachi 3:10-11.
