Almost everyone can recall hearing that “still, small voice”, or a strong inner prompting that maybe led to an important juncture or decision. Are you willing to believe that maybe it was the Lord who spoke to you in that moment? It is quite likely that the Lord has been speaking to you but you didn’t always realize it. I expect the true story in this blog about hearing and obeying God’s prompting will encourage you to pause and reflect on your life’s journey.
Anxiety seems to be the scourge of the modern world. Anxiety can keep us up at night, impact our health, undermine our life and relationships.
