Listen To God

Hear counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, that you may be wise in the time to come. —Proverbs 19:20

You may wonder, “How do I know when to confront someone about an issue, and when to let it go?” If you are too eager to set someone straight, it may not be God motivating you. Correction must be done in love to build up the person and not tear them down. Always pray and wait until you know what God wants you to do.

You must be led of the Spirit. If after prayer you still feel that you are to talk to someone about their behavior, be absolutely sure that you are doing it for their good and not yours. If it is what God has told you to do, you may not even want to do it, but it will be done as an act of obedience to Him. Whatever you do, do it in love.

From the book Starting Your Day Right

So many times, we hear this inner voice and so often mistake our disease for our God`s Voice speaking to us. I know I have to clear my mind and in the quiet and the stillness, say the Third Step Prayer, and then I am better able to listen for the real thing, God`s Will, not mine.
