Tom,
I am looking forward to this Blog series. I have always struggled with trying to hear what God is trying to tell me. Thanks for your efforts!

I am very excited to hear more about this topic. In addition to the points you shared, Tom, I have seen that a key for me is slowing down my heart and mind long enough to hear from God. I tend to tell God what I have going during the day and ask Him to bless it and if I take the time to try to listen, i find my mind wandering to my to do list. I read recently in a Charles Stanley devotional: “Effective meditation demands seclusion. If we do not find a moment or two to escape the demands of our daily life, then our ability to hear God’s voice will be weakened. Your schedule will not surrender time easily, so make a decision to claim a block of time for the Lord.”

I may have to get this and read it along with you. Two nights ago I awoke at 3:30am with a profoundly sad feeling as if I had had a very sad dream. However, I couldn’t recall dreaming anything. In the morning I discovered some very sad news and then knew that God had awoken me to pray but…I just didn’t get it. Had I been in one of my periods of being “richly interactive with God”, then I would have gotten it. Another challenge is to sustain the relationship once you have achieved it. – GWA
