    Hearing God's Voice: Beyond Internal Monologue

    Best quote from Hearing God's Voice: Beyond Internal Monologue

    “

    God's voice acts gently like a drop of water on a sponge, bringing a quality that is clear, warm, and assuring. What comes authentically from God will last and bring real change within us, rather than fading away like our random thoughts.

    ”

    Input question

    I want to hear God's voice. How can I connect with Him on that level and know that it's Him speaking to me and not just my internal monologue?
