Revealed: The #1 Reason we have trouble hearing God’s guidance.

Step 1: Trust in the Lord with all your heart Step 1: Trust in the Lord with all your heart. What makes it hard to trust God with your whole heart?

Step 1: Trust God with your whole heart. James 1:5-8 NLT 5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

Have you ever thought this? “God, show me what you want me to do, and THEN I’ll decide whether to do it”? “That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double- minded and unstable in all they do” --James 1:7-8 NIV
