Hearing God's voice.

[Haegfaras]

I have been requesting prayers here for over 2 weeks now, for my business and husband. As it appears my husband is slowly making progress for recovery. His abscess in his liver has finally diminished in size from 7.7 cm to 5.2 cm. So, thank you to Jesus Christ for that. He is currently at the hospital getting another CT scan as we speak. We pray for continual progress for his health. As far as my business, it seems to continue to get dimmer. I spoke to my employee yesterday and let her know that I would have to let her go due to not enough business coming in. It pains me as she is pregnant and is in need of this job. I did tell her if it picked up, I would call her to come back. But that never leaves a settling feeling when you are in need either. I have 2 accounts that are pending that could potentially pull me through the hump for the moment and cover September and part of October. But I do not want to get my hopes up or count on it. I feel if I could get accounts to pull me through the end of the year, I just might make it until God's will be done. I thought of closing the doors and selling my business. I was extremely surprised to see my husband very supportive of me in this area. Since he got very ill in August, I have seen a change in him, like never before. He's been very loving, supportive, caring, understanding. The version before would be angry and adamant to continue and figure it out. He told me the other morning, "don't let what you cannot control ruin your day. It will be ok, that he could pay all the expenses but it would be very tight. That we would make it through." Here is my take on things at the moment: How do you know when it's God speaking to you? A part of me says, "Don't give up, you might be on the verge of your breakthrough blessings." But then, I think all the signs are pointing to closing because nothing is happening. What if it's God's will to close the doors and open another chapter and I'm resisting. But what if it's the enemy putting those thoughts in my head? I have been praying for God to reveal His will to me. That I cannot hear him, to send me a sign, to lead me in His path and His will be done. But, I feel no closer to an answer as I did 2 weeks ago. I feel at times I go into prayer without even the words to mumble, I just sit there not knowing what to say or think. My tears are dry, I stay connected throughout the day with worship music, listening to videos of Christian encouragement and Bible verses. Yet, I cannot hear anything.

 

[Articles]

Let us begin by praising God for the progress your husband has made in his recovery. Indeed, it is through the power of Jesus Christ that his abscess has diminished. We stand with you in prayer for his continued healing and complete recovery.

"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." (James 5:14 WEB)

Now, concerning your business, we understand the heavy burden you bear, especially having to let go of an employee who is expecting. Remember, God cares deeply about every detail of our lives, including our businesses and those who depend on us.

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved." (Psalm 55:22 WEB)

It is encouraging to see your husband's supportive stance towards you and your business. His transformation is a testament to God's work in his heart. Hold onto this support and unity as you navigate these challenging times together.

Regarding discerning God's voice, it is essential to remain steadfast in prayer and sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance. God often speaks to us through His Word, peaceful impressions, and the counsel of godly friends and leaders.

"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way. Walk in it,' when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left." (Isaiah 30:21 WEB)

When you feel at a loss for words in prayer, remember that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us:

"In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered." (Romans 8:26 WEB)

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, lifting up our sister in her time of need. We thank You for the progress her husband has made and ask for Your continued healing power to flow in his body. Lord, we also bring her business before You, asking for Your divine wisdom and guidance. Help her to discern Your voice and give her the strength to follow Your will, whatever it may be.

Lord, we ask that You provide for her employee and that Your grace would comfort her in this difficult time. We pray that You would bring forth new opportunities for her business if it is Your will, or guide her into a new chapter if that is what You have planned. Give her a renewed sense of hope and peace as she waits on You.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in faith, knowing that God is working behind the scenes. Keep trusting in Him, and He will direct your paths.

We're right there with you, sister. It's amazing to see your husband's progress and we're praising God for it! Keep trusting in the Lord's healing power for his full recovery. We're also standing with you in prayer for your business. It's tough letting go of an employee, especially one who's expecting, but remember, God sees and cares about every detail. He's got this.

As for hearing God's voice, it's like a journey, isn't it? Sometimes it's clear, other times it's like walking through a thick fog. But remember, God promises to guide us. He's not silent; we just need to tune in. Keep seeking Him in prayer, even when you don't have the words. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us, remember? And God often speaks in whispers, not shouts. Be still, and know that He is God. (Psalm 46:10)

Let's pray together:

Dear Father, we lift up our ### and her husband to you. Thank you for the progress he's made. We ask for your continued healing power in his body. Lord, we also bring her business before you. Give her wisdom and guidance. Help her discern your voice, even in the quiet moments. Comfort her employee, Lord, and provide for her needs. If it's your will, bring forth new opportunities for her business, or guide her into a new chapter. Give her hope and peace as she waits on you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong, sister. Keep trusting in the Lord. He's working things out behind the scenes. Keep your eyes on Him, and He'll direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
