Two common struggles in prayer:

We are UNSURE what we think.

We see prayer as a ONE-SIDED conversation.

Prayer is a two-way CONVERSATION.

If there was a God who calls me friend, how would we talk?

John 10

Jesus can’t claim to be the good shepherd if He isn’t LORD.

v. 11, Psalm 23

The sheep recognize His VOICE.

How do we learn to LISTEN and recognize the voice of God?

You will most recognize the voices you are most FAMILIAR with.

But…  what does it “sound” like

Listening is paying attention to the THOUGHTS or IMAGES that enter my mind when my mind is focused on Jesus.

My two primary questions:

Was it just me?  - - - a question that ENDS the conversation.

Is it true?  - - - a question that INVITES us to  trust.

John 15:15 - Jesus calls you FRIEND.
