4 Ways We Block God's Voice

Description

Are you struggling to hear God's voice? If you're trying to discern a decision — about your family, your home, your work, or something deeper — and you're not getting clarity, it may not be because God isn't speaking. It may be because something is blocking Him. In this episode, we talk about four common ways we unintentionally block God's voice: Hardness of heart and lack of forgiveness Asking God… but being afraid of the answer Only giving Him Option A or Option B When God says, "It's up to you" We also talk about: Why forgiveness (even of God) is about releasing yourself How fear reveals whether you trust His goodness The subtle difference between unrest and peaceful freedom Why discernment and obedience are two separate skills The goal of motherhood is not performance. It's not image. It's not measurable success. It's learning to hear God's voice — and doing what He tells you. If you're not getting clarity in prayer, gently examine your heart. There may be something blocking what He's trying to say. Do whatever He tells you. 💜 Sterling
