Soul Search

• Can you recall a time in your life when you were desperate to hear God speaking to you?
  Can you share some of that experience?

• When you were desperate to hear God’s voice or to somehow know that He was with you, did He speak to you or make His presence known to you in some way?
  If so, how?

• Do you believe that God is real and that He wants His children to hear His voice and experience His presence?
  If you do believe that, why do you?
  If you don’t believe that, why don’t you?
  Can you share your honest thoughts and feelings?

• Do you think that God can speak to other people but not to you?
  Can you explain why you think that?

Soul Moves

• Read God’s written Word, the Bible, because His Word is the starting point for knowing what God says and for learning how He thinks.
  When God speaks, His Words always aligns and parallels with the truths found in the Bible.

• Ask God in prayer to speak to you and to make His presence in your life and in the situations you encounter real to you.

• If you feel like God is far from you, ask Him, invite Him, to draw close to you.
  At the same time, make the decision to draw close to Him.
  If there is anything standing between you and Him – sinful choices that you know are wrong – ask Jesus to forgive you, surrender and give your life to Him, and receive His life in you.

• Be on the lookout for God to show up miraculously so that you can hear His voice loud and clear.
  When He does, let it cause you to worship Him and praise Him for His goodness to you.
