Stop Praying the Hard Way Try This Instead by Pastor Brett Smith

Finding intimacy with God requires allowing His Word to transform us daily, as it's alive and reveals new insights each time we engage with it. God reveals His secrets to those who revere Him, creating a relationship of 'sweet, satisfying companionship.' Hearing God's voice clearly involves quieting our souls, setting aside distractions, and acknowledging His presence without anxiety. When we cultivate this intimate relationship, revelation becomes natural in our daily experience through Scripture, dreams, discernment, and 'rested obedience.' God isn't hiding His will from us—He's revealing it to those who position themselves to listen.
