Hearing God through a sense (or absence) of peace

up:: Hearing God’s voice MOC Often, as our hearts align with God’s, we feel a certain peace about pursuing an option. Other times we also feel a lack of peace about an option.

A lack of peace is different than fear

It is important not to confuse an absence of peace with fear. An absence of peace is rooted in God’s character and trust in him. Fear looks at me, my worries and my stakes. Fear has to be prayerfully dealt with, an absence of peace has to be obeyed. Obeying fear leaves us with a feeling of guilt, obeying an absence of peace will quickly fill us with peace as we explore the different path that God has for us.
