How to hear God clearly when life gets noisy.
When you stop chasing strategy and start seeking surrender, everything changes. This week on the Christian Women CALLED™ Series, we’re talking about how to Listen for Direction -to stop striving, sit still, and let God lead.
Welcome back to the Christian Women CALLED™ Series on The Faith & Focus Show with Christy Hammond.
We’ve already covered C: Come Back to Christ and A: Audit Your Life. Today, we move into L: Listen for Direction -the moment your patience gets tested, your faith gets refined, and your peace returns.
When you belong to Him, you don’t have to chase clarity. You just have to stay close enough to hear it.
Anchored Scripture (Crossway ESV):
John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
In this episode, Christy shares how listening for God’s direction begins with surrender.
You’ll learn:
- Why hearing God starts with stillness, not striving
- How to discern His voice over distraction
- What to do when you feel like He’s silent
- How surrender realigns your plans with His peace
Journal Prompt:
“God, what are You asking me to stop doing, start doing, or wait on, so I can walk in step with You?”
Faith & Focus Bible Journal Connection:
Use My Prayers for Today to write your surrender prayer:
“Lord, I surrender my plans. Lead me where You want me to go. Help me hear Your voice above all others.”
Then use Reflections at the end of the week to record what He revealed.
Hear His voice. Follow His lead. Live CALLED.
