I’ve been trying to be more deliberate about actually listening during prayer, not just talking. It’s raised a lot of questions I don’t have neat answers to. I’ve talked to people I trust, done some reading, but I still catch myself second-guessing whether what I’m sensing is from God or just… my own mind filling in the blanks.
There’s usually this initial wave of peace or clarity. Almost like a settling. But then the doubt creeps in right after and I start picking the whole thing apart, wondering if I manufactured it somehow. I want to be open to however He chooses to communicate (and I know that looks different for different people), but the fear of getting it wrong gets pretty loud.
For those of you who’ve felt it.. how do you know God is speaking to you?
