Some time ago, I wrote about 10 exercises you can perform to help you grow in hearing God’s voice. One of those exercises was simply to ask God questions – for whatever reason, specific questions seem to be easier to hear the answer than just being like, “So I’m listening…”
Today, I’d like to give you a list of questions that you can ask God. You can ask and then listen, or – even better – write down the question, ask God, and then write down what God says to your mind. That way, you don’t have to think about the response until after you have it written down. You also end up with a physical (or digital) record of what God said – which can be helpful, both in remembering what He said and also if the devil tries to convince you that God said something else or nothing at all.
So without further ado, here is the list of questions you can ask God.
