Let’s be real for a second—God is not silent. We just don’t like what He’s saying.
A lot of us walk around saying, “I’m trying to hear from God,” but if we’re honest, we’re only open to hearing what we agree with. The moment truth shows up in a way that challenges us, corrects us, or exposes something in us—we shut down. We get defensive. We dismiss it. Or worse… we ignore it completely.
But here’s the truth: God has been speaking to you.
Not just today. Not just recently. A long time ago.
Through people. Through situations. Through that uncomfortable feeling you keep pushing away. Through that one conversation that stuck with you longer than it should have. Through correction you didn’t ask for but needed anyway.
And instead of sitting with it and going back to God like, “Lord, fix my heart so I can receive this,” we go everywhere else. We look for validation. We look for agreement. We look for someone to tell us we’re fine the way we are.
But growth doesn’t happen in comfort—it happens in truth.
Sometimes people aren’t attacking you. Sometimes they’re revealing something you genuinely can’t see about yourself. And instead of labeling them as negative or “coming for you,” maybe—just maybe—that’s God trying to get your attention.
We say we want clarity, but we avoid conviction.
We say we want God’s voice, but we reject His method.
God is limitless. He’s not boxed into one way of speaking. He will use whatever—and whoever—He needs to reach you.
The real issue isn’t that God isn’t speaking.
The issue is that we’re not present enough to hear Him.
We’re distracted. We’re prideful. And sometimes… we’re just not ready to accept the truth.
But here’s where it shifts: maturity is when you start praying differently.
“Lord, don’t just speak to me—prepare me to receive it.”
“Correct my heart so I don’t reject what I need.”
“Help me recognize your voice—even when it’s uncomfortable.”
Because once you get to that place, everything changes.
You stop running from truth… and start growing through it.
God is speaking.
The question is—are you finally ready to listen?
