Although it is better to listen, sometimes you need to get your own thoughts out of the way first. God wants to hear from you too! You need an equal amount of talking and listening to have a good conversation. Listening or singing worship songs or hymns is a great way to begin to settle your soul and to concentrate on what God has to say.

Don’t worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything, always. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done, is doing and will do, for His continued blessings on you. (Philippians 4:6)

Using an app like Reimagining the Examen is great for concentration, meditation on God, talking with him, and repenting. It’s great to do before bed as you examine your day and ask yourself and God what you did right, what needs changing, how you handled relationships, etc.

Ask for forgiveness for the things you’ve done wrong; known and unknown.

Try not to involve or force others into believing you or your communications with God. Keep it within you. If God wants you to share His word, He will tell you.
