Learning To Hear Again | Robby Williams

In today's fast-paced, hyperconnected culture, countless believers find themselves caught in a frustrating paradox: desperately seeking God's direction while living lives that are too loud to hear His response. We crave clarity, peace, and divine purpose, yet we've unknowingly constructed barriers that prevent us from receiving what we're earnestly requesting. The problem manifests in two primary ways. External noise bombards us constantly through social media opinions, relentless news cycles, and the cultural pressure to stay perpetually connected. We've even conditioned ourselves to require background noise to sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, internal noise proves equally destructive as anxiety steals our peace, past regrets replay endlessly in our minds, and fear about the future paralyzes our decision-making. Perhaps most damaging, we often assume God's silence means He's absent or uncaring about our circumstances. The biblical account of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 provides profound insight into how God chooses to communicate. After experiencing tremendous spiritual victory, Elijah found himself exhausted and running for his life. When God was ready to speak, He demonstrated His power through hurricane-force winds, earthquakes, and fire, yet His voice came not in these dramatic displays but in a gentle whisper. This teaches us that hearing God requires humility to acknowledge our need for His guidance, intentional attention to listen for His voice, and surrendered space where He can speak. Creating this space through practices like fasting isn't about earning God's attention but about positioning ourselves to actually hear the voice that matters most.
