Prayer 4: Hearing God's Voice

Are you afraid you don't hear God's voice? If so, don't be afraid anymore after you read today's key Scriptures. Here's why:

In John 10:1-5, Jesus said specifically that His sheep follow Him and that they know His voice. If you have given your life to Jesus Christ, making Him your personal Savior, Lord, Boss, and Master, then you ARE one of His sheep—and you DO hear His voice. Jesus Christ (who is God Himself) said so, and God is not a man that He should lie.

Also, in John 10:5, we read that Jesus' sheep will not follow a stranger.

This means that, as we read in Day 2 of this Plan, you will not veer away from God's perfect will either to the right or to the left. God loves you enough to keep you in His absolute best for you—and He is big enough and strong enough to preserve and protect you as you walk. No one can snatch you out of His hand!

So pray this simple prayer for guidance today:

"Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You in Jesus' name. Thank You for the reassuring words of Jesus that I read today in John chapter 10. Thank You, Jesus, for being my Good Shepherd. You are leading me and guiding me this very moment, and I praise You for it. You are the great and only wise God.

Abba Father, please help me obey You today. I know that no one can snatch me out of Your hand, but I just want You to know that I want to please You. I want to walk as You desire me to walk, and I need Your help to follow You at all times.

Without You, I can do nothing—but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Therefore, Father, please help me to be an obedient sheep. Help me to follow Jesus, my Shepherd, perfectly today. Help me to keep my nose right in Your back and never to get distracted or discouraged.

Thank You, Abba Father. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus' holy and precious name, I pray, amen."
