I have been on a faith journey for nearly 30 years, and have often struggled with consistency in the Word, wondering if I’m praying ”right”, and wondering if I’m hearing from God or if it’s just my own thoughts. It wasn’t until I faced a couple valleys of my own that I was able to realize that in order to develop the spiritual disciplines and habits that kept me on the path to seeking God - and hearing from Him - it would require seeking Him on a daily basis so I can continue to grow in my relationship with Him.

    Why You Might Not Recognize God’s Voice | John 21:1-14 Bible Study [S4 E64]

    Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever felt like God was speaking… but you just weren’t sure if it was really Him? In today’s Bible Study with Me, we’re walking through John 21:1–14 and reflecting on a powerful moment where the disciples didn’t immediately recognize Jesus—even after everything they had experienced with Him.

But here’s the encouragement: Jesus doesn’t stop speaking—He draws us back to His voice. ✨ In this episode, we explore: Why the disciples didn’t recognize Jesus right away How life distractions can affect our ability to hear God The connection between obedience and recognizing His voice What it looks like to trust God even when you’re unsure How to return to His presence and hear Him clearly again 📓 Journal Prompt: Where in my life have I allowed noise, exhaustion, or confusion to make God’s voice feel distant—and what is one simple step I can take today to quiet that noise and draw near to Him again? Sis, this is your reminder… You’re not far from Him. Sometimes we just need to quiet the noise to hear Him again. 💛 🔗 HELPFUL LINKS ✨ Circle Time Prayer Journal https://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal ✨ Accept Jesus Into Your Heart https://peacewithgod.net/steps/ ✨ Support the Ministry https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 RESOURCES Blue Letter Bible https://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRef https://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowship https://www.bsfinternational.org Spiritual Growth Bible (NLT) https://amzn.to/3RgZL8L Every Day in His Presence Devotional Dr. Charles Stanley https://amzn.to/414XNsa 🎶 MUSIC Buenos Dias by Matt Large Epidemic Sound 📌 NOTE Some links may be affiliate links.
