Hearing from God

What if you don't hear answers from God? It happens to everyone at some point or another, but not because God isn't talking. Possibly because you don't know how to recognize the answers, your ears are blocked, or the adversary is in the way.

Here are some resources that might help:

• Walking with God by John Eldredge, p.25-28 for a concrete description of trying on Yes/No answers in prayer.
• Hear Him video series by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• Gospel Topics: Prayer by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
• Videos about my experiences hearing or not hearing from God:
• This video series is most recent (scroll to the bottom of the page for the 4-part "Hear Him" series).
• Earlier videos on hearing God include this one and its sequels part 1 and part 2
• Also this video on breaking through when prayer is blocked
• Ask God to get the answer through to you in the next 24 hours, then go about your activities while staying mentally and spiritually alert so that you recognize an answer when it comes. Help this process along by seeking things that invite the spirit (scriptures, holy music, friends who hear, etc.).
• Ask a friend to pray and listen to God alongside you.
