You ever feel like God’s been silent lately?
Like your prayers are hitting the ceiling, and you’re just waiting… hoping… maybe even doubting?
You’re not alone.
We all go through seasons when we feel distant from God, but here’s the truth: God hasn’t stopped speaking.
Sometimes, we’re just looking in the wrong places.
God doesn’t always use a burning bush or a booming voice. Most of the time, He whispers in the ordinary.
Let’s grab a cup of coffee and talk about 5 everyday ways God might be speaking to you right now—and how you can start noticing.
Through People You Bump Into (Yes, Even That One)
Ever had a stranger say something to you that felt like it was straight from Heaven?
Or a friend call just when you were about to break?
God uses people. All. The. Time.
Maybe it’s a kind word from your neighbor.
A verse your pastor preached that hit home.
Or even a conversation you overheard in the grocery store.
It’s not coincidence. It’s God’s timing.
Through Nature—Creation Still Preaches
Have you ever stood outside on a quiet evening and felt peace wash over you? That’s not just a pretty sunset. That’s God’s artwork.
Romans 1:20 reminds us that His invisible qualities are seen in creation.
The wind in the trees. The waves hitting the shore. Even the birds singing in the morning.
Sometimes, God says, “Look around. I’m here.”
Try this: Next time you’re outside, put your phone down. Take a deep breath. Listen. Watch. Let your heart slow down long enough to hear Him.
Through Delays and Detours
This one’s hard, I know.
But those delays? That closed door? That “No” you weren’t expecting?
They might just be divine redirections.
We often think silence means God’s not working. But it’s usually the opposite—He’s just shifting things behind the scenes.
Think about how many times you were glad something didn’t go your way. That job you didn’t get. That move you didn’t make.
Sometimes His greatest gifts come wrapped in delay.
Through Your Spirit (That Gut Feeling Isn’t Just You)
You know that tug on your heart? That nudge to call someone, pray, or just pause?
That’s the Holy Spirit.
God placed His Spirit in you not just for comfort, but for direction.
And He’s whispering more than you think.
If you’ve been feeling uneasy about something, or drawn to do something kind… pay attention. That’s probably God.
When you feel that nudge, stop and say, “God, is that You?” You’ll be amazed how He confirms it.
Through His Word—It’s Not Just a Sunday Book
Okay, this might seem obvious, but hear me out.
So many people say, “I’ve read the Bible, and nothing stood out.”
But here’s the thing: The Bible isn’t just words—it’s alive. And God speaks through it when your heart is open.
Ever read a verse that you’ve seen a hundred times… and suddenly it hits different?
That’s God.
Start small. Pick a verse and just sit with it. Ask, “God, what are You saying to me here?”
He’ll show up.
He always does.
Final Thoughts: He’s Closer Than You Think
Friend, maybe you’ve been waiting to hear God say something loud and clear.
But what if He’s been speaking all along—in that phone call, in the quiet walk, in the unexpected delay?
God is never silent.
He’s always near.
And if you start watching for Him in the small things, you’ll begin to feel His presence in a brand new way.
So don’t lose heart.
Keep your eyes open.
Because God’s still speaking—and today, you just might hear Him.
