Help hearing from God, knowing his will & praying rightly

Q: I am really struggling to hear God's voice speak to me, so I really need direction and godly guidance. I'm trying to stay the course, submit to Him and trust His timing, but... I feel alone and I think my prayers are falling on deaf ears. I'm having trouble between praying for what I want and praying for his will to be done; I don't know if His will is the same as what I want and I don't know if I'm praying for the wrong thing... and He's  disapointed. A: This is something many struggle with. I hope these will be a blessing & help as you grow in knowledge and faith. 😊✝️ 1.  How do we Hear from God 2. Knowing God's Will (& how your sanctification is connected to it) 3. About proper Prayer   If 1 & 2 align in prayer then it's good.

"And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified,..." Romans 8:30.

Q: Please help me understand something that I struggle with. I have recently been saved, after years of just not knowing what I believed. I no longer have doubts about who my Lord and Savior is, and I know Jesus loves me, but there are things I don’t understand. I pray to God all the time. I pray to thank Jesus for His sacrifice for us. I pray worshipping God the way that He should be worshipped, and to tell Him that I love Him. I pray to thank Him for answering my prayers. I pray before a meal to thank Him for the food provided that will nourish my body.

I pray for something I really need to happen, either for myself, for someone I care about, or even for a total stranger. I call those my “request prayers”. After the request I always add, “if it is y...
