Navigating Silent SeasonsSample

Now, let's shift to ways to help you hear from God: one of the most underrated ways is being in a Godly community. In the same way that your circle can hinder you from hearing God's voice, it can also help you hear from God. Often, a friend or family member's faith helps us reposition ourselves to hear from God.

The Bible emphasizes this principle, reminding us that “where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is among them.” This underscores the importance of community; by surrounding yourself with others who are equally devoted to their faith, you create an environment that encourages and nurtures your spiritual growth, whether that community is your church family, small group, or friends who encourage you in the word.

When you have a Godly community around you and confess to them that you have a hard time hearing from God, they can pray with and encourage you in the Lord. The right community is the one that pushes you to the feet of Jesus, even if they have to lower you through the roof (Mark 2:1-12).

Ultimately, the right community will continue to lead you closer to Jesus, inspiring you to deepen your relationship with Him through every season of life. Surrounding yourself with devoted and prayerful individuals strengthens your faith and cultivates an atmosphere conducive to hearing the Lord's voice more clearly.

Prayer: Lord, help me find or acknowledge the Godly community around me. I desire to have Godly friends and a community that helps push me toward you so that I can hear you more clearly. In Jesus' name, amen.
