Listening to God's voice
Read John 10:27.
Take time today to listen carefully to God's voice.
If you feel that your head is still overflowing with all kinds of thoughts, you can try the following exercise:
Take a piece of paper and write down all the thoughts that go through your head in the next 5 minutes. Whether positive or negative, important or unimportant, write everything down.
When you have finished, put the paper aside (preferably out of sight).
Prepare yourself inwardly for your encounter with God.
Take a pen and a new sheet of paper, alternatively your mobile phone (in flight mode). And start writing. Or draw or... Of course, it's best if you take some time and find a quiet place to do this.
If no thoughts come to you and you feel you can't hear God, read through Psalm 139:1-18 and underline the words that speak to you.
Take these words and use them to write a letter addressed to you (alternatively you can draw something from these words).
Read Psalm 139:1-18.
If you still have difficulties, find someone to read the psalm together with you.
Remember:
"How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!" (Psalm 139:17)
P.S.: After your exercise, look - if you like - again at the initial list of "thoughts in your head". How has your focus changed? Is there anything on this list you would like God to take care of?
