How to Hear from God

I don’t want to be out of fellowship with the Lord. I must have Him to get through every single day of my life

Lord,
Show me my sin. Convict me of what I am doing that breaks Your law of loving others. Convict me when I speak harshly to others. Keep my conscience tender to hear Your voice. Give me power to be free from sin. Amen.

If you are having trouble hearing from God, I encourage you to take a few moments every day and confess your faith in hearing from Him. As you confess what you believe in your heart, you will develop faith and expectancy to hear Him.
I frequently confess: “I hear from God. I am led by His Holy Spirit. I know my Father’s voice, and the voice of a stranger I will not follow. I am led and guided by the Holy Spirit, even unto my death. God will guide me all the days of my life. He will guide me and give me the answers that I need.”

When people work at jobs they aren’t gifted to do, they quickly become unhappy, and they make everyone around them unhappy too. Even in raising our children, we need to see what they are good at and give them household chores in line with their gifts. It is senseless to make everyone conform, because we are not alike. God needs each of us in our place. He needs every one of us to function to our fullness, without wasting time competing with someone with different gifts and talents.
When teams of employees are in their right places with everyone in his or her niche, operations run like a finely tuned machine.

God speaks of this division of gifts several places in His Word. Genesis 4:20-22 mentions that Jabal was the father of those who raised cattle and purchased possessions. His brother Jubal was the father of all the musicians who played the lyre and pipe. His half-brother Tubal-cain forged instruments made of bronze and iron. When Solomon built the temple, God empowered skilled craftsmen to do the work (see 2 Chronicles 2).
Then again, in the New Testament church, God makes it clear that He calls us to work together as one body in Christ. He appoints some to be apostles, some prophets, and some teachers. Some people are given the faith to be workers of miracles, some have gifts of healing, some are gifted to help others, some have gifts of administration, and the Word says that some are speakers in different tongues (see 1 Corinthians 12:28).
