Being Intentional About Listening

Send us a text

Have you ever noticed how difficult it can truly be to stop and listen? Not just with your ears, but with your whole being?

Today's Faith Bit invites you into a practice that seems deceptively simple yet proves remarkably challenging in our distraction-filled world: the sacred discipline of listening to God. I share how this message came to me ironically while my own mind was racing with thoughts and plans, until I intentionally chose to focus and truly listen. That moment of stillness revealed the very message I needed to share with you today.

We often approach our spiritual life with endless words and requests, rarely creating the space necessary to hear what God is speaking or singing over us. This episode features a heartfelt prayer for divine connection—asking God to download His heart for us, reveal His mind toward us, and free us from the false narratives we've carried. When we intentionally quiet ourselves, we grow in our ability to recognize His voice among the many competing voices in our lives.

The scripture reminds us that "My sheep hear my voice"—suggesting this intimate communication should be our natural state as believers. Yet how can we hear when we never pause to listen? I'm challenging you today to create intentional space for sacred listening. You might be surprised what you hear when you finally quiet your own voice long enough to hear His. Take this invitation to stillness with you today, and see how it transforms your spiritual journey.
