Needing to Hear Your Voice

“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10


Reflection:

In the constant rush and noise of daily life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, scattered, and uncertain. We find ourselves juggling responsibilities, answering demands, and managing a stream of worries that seem never-ending. Yet, amidst this busyness, there’s an inner longing for something deeper—a sense of peace and direction that no to-do list or self-help strategy can provide. It’s the yearning to hear God’s voice, a desire for the comfort and guidance that only He can offer.

In Psalm 46:10, we are reminded to “be still” and let go of our striving. But how often do we make time for stillness? To sit in silence and be open to God’s gentle whispers? God speaks in many ways: through His Word, the kindness of others, and the quiet nudges in our hearts. When we pause and create space for Him, we allow these messages to reach us. Even a few minutes of stillness can make a difference, opening the door to renewed strength and perspective.

Maybe today, in a quiet moment, you’ll find God speaking to you in unexpected ways—a verse that resonates, a conversation that feels like an answer, or even a deep, calming peace that assures you He’s near. Whatever form it takes, know that He is always willing to speak to you when you are ready to listen.

Prayer:

Dear God, I’m ready to hear from You. Quiet the noise around me, and still my restless mind. Help me to be aware of Your presence in my life today. May I feel Your closeness, recognize Your voice, and find peace in knowing that You are with me in every step. Amen.

I am tuning in to hear God’s voice today. No matter how much noise or distraction tries to pull me away, I choose to be still and listen.


Unapologetically, G

Your Purpose is a Blessing

"...Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve." Jeremiah 32:19 Have you ever considered what would happen if someone who is called to be a dentist one day decides that he wants to become a cardiologist? If you were a heart patient, how confident would you be in his ability to successfully treat you? Not very confident at all! You would be uncomfortable with the fact that he is working outside of his calling.  Now consider that this same dentist was present and in place when you come into the dentist office with excruciating pain and discomfort. Would you hesitate in asking and trusting him to help you? No, not at all!! Your confidence lies in knowing that he is operating in his calling. When you operate in your calling you become a blessing to all those God sends your way. So, if you are called to be a dentist or doctor, operate in yo

The Power of Listening

"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 Listening is a gift that connects and strengthens families across generations. When we truly listen, we show love and respect, giving younger generations the wisdom and guidance they need for their journey. For the older generation, this listening brings a deep satisfaction, knowing that their experiences and lessons add value to their family and are cherished by those they love. "Lord, help me listen with a loving and patient heart. May I encourage the younger and older generations alike to see the value in each other's lives and experiences, growing together in love and wisdom. Amen." UNAPOLOGETICALLY, G

Practice Forgiveness for a Peaceful Heart

Image
"Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you." -  Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of a peaceful and fulfilling life. When someone wrongs us, the initial reaction might be to hold onto the hurt, replaying moments of pain and frustration. Yet, Colossians 3:13 reminds us that just as God has forgiven us, we too are called to forgive others. This act of forgiveness brings healing not only to the relationship but also to our own hearts. Holding onto grudges often weighs us down, filling our minds with anger, bitterness, and stress. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows us to let go of this burden. When we forgive, we’re choosing freedom from resentment and moving forward in peace. As difficult as it may seem, forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting the wrongdoing; it simply means releasing the control it has over our lives. It's about finding peace by trusting that God will give us the strengt
