Yes—you can hear God consistently
“Sometimes it’s pretty easy to hear God’s messages,” he said. “But sometimes I feel like I’m not hearing anything. How can I be more receptive?”
That was the gist of a comment by a teen at a recent gathering of young Christian Scientists here in Boston. I loved his question for two reasons. First, it showed a fundamental conviction that God is talking to each of us, and that we can hear Him. (If you’re not sure how to recognize God’s messages, check out “ ‘What does God’s voice sound like?’ ” in the Q&A section of TeenConnect.) Second, it’s a question that most praying people I know have asked at one point or another: How can I hear God more consistently?
Hearing God is a work in progress for me, too. But I’ve learned a few things along the way that help when I’m feeling disconnected.
