Matthew 7:7-11  (NIV)

⁷“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. ⁹“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

James 1:5 (New Living Translation)

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
Hearing answers from God. Hmm… This is for sure something I struggle with. I think there are two parts to this. Number one : hearing an answer from God. Number two : actually doing what God told you to do. Yeah, both of those can be difficult in and of themselves.

I’ve been really trying to hear from Him recently. Trying to figure out what He wants for me. What’s best – in everything I do. I’ve been praying and thinking about something pretty influential in my life lately and I feel like I’m getting a message from God… an answer I didn’t want.

I haven’t literally heard him say an answer to me. But my feelings and heart have changed. It’s like, He’s just molded my heart into something else. My heart now feels that I need to move on. He’s changed me internally and now my external acts are to reflect it.

Me getting this answer is totally an answer to prayer, but just what I didn’t want to hear. Doing what God has told me, is going to be difficult. But with the knowledge that God wants me to do this because there’s going to be something greater for me in the future is incredibly comforting. It’ll still be hard, but worth it in the end. He has something better for me out there.

What is God saying to you? And maybe more importantly, if you hear an answer for Him – will you able to do what He says? I hope this in someway, somehow helps you. Or makes you think. I’m excited to see what God’s going to do in the future. And I want to keep doing what He wants so that I’ll be able to receive all that he has planned for me.

Romans 8:28 (NIV)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
