Welcome to episode #146! This week, Matt and Braden share what it looks like to hear God\'s voice in life and in your recovery journey.

You were made to hear God
God made you with an ability to hear Him and know His voice as well as you know the voice of someone you\'ve known for years. God is creative in how He speaks, but as you get to know what His communication with you looks like, you\'ll find Him confirming His voice by bringing fruit into your life based on what He has said.

Expect God to speak to you and make space in your day to sit and listen to God. If you ask Him a question, give time for Him to answer before moving onto the next thing on your mind. Also know though, that if God doesn\'t answer your prayer in a specific way or time, He has a better way and time planned and He wants you to wait for it.

God\'s Word will never condemn, but will always be life-giving
Many people will ask how to know it\'s God and not just their thoughts or the devil. God\'s words always bring life, hope, encouragement, and seem to take a weight off of your heart. Even if you\'re not sure if your thoughts were just your thoughts or if they were in fact God speaking to you, if your thoughts are lined up with scripture, you can thank Him for His Word.

God\'s words specifically to you will always align with scripture. If you feel God saying something to you, it\'s good to bring it out into counsel with others so you can see if they are in agreement that it really was God.

Get God\'s perspective
God\'s words to us brings His perspective. Instead of just praying for peace on a situation, when you ask for God\'s perspective on that situation and each person involved, peace will come with His perspective. Ask for God\'s perspective on yourself, others, and on circumstances that seem to bring you down.

You can invite God into your memories and ask for His perspective on those who have hurt you or tempt you. Listen for His voice so that you can share in the perspective of God.
