Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.

This week is devoted to prayer. In today’s key verse God formed us and called us by name. Although we don’t hear an audible voice, when we have a close relationship with God, often we know when He is speaking to us. 

In Pastor Steven Furtick’s sermon message, When God Gives You A Thought, Elevation Church 7-27-25, he talked about 3 ways God speaks to you, through impressions, instructions, and interruptions. I love that God can speak to us in so many ways. I especially love that we have His word, worship, and prayer to communicate with Him. I encourage us all to position our hearts and minds as we go to God in prayer so that we can be ready and open to hear Him call our names.

Let’s pray. Dear, Heavenly Father, thank You for Your impressions, instructions, and interruptions to guide me in my daily walk. I seek to hear You call my name. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
