I have found that hearing God becomes easier and easier with practice. Sometimes the carnal mind gets really obstinate and just hits me with “NOT RIGHT NOW DON’T WANNA I’LL DO IT LATER WHAT’S FOR DINNER” and similar mind-numbing nonsense, hoping to lull me into a stupor. As soon as I wake up to this malarkey, I focus on/as God and the journey becomes joyfully exhilarating once again!
