**Joyce Meyer
To find peace in our lives, we simply need to obey the promptings God gives us each day. A prompting is a a "knowing" deep down on the inside, telling us what to do. First Kings 19:11-12 refers to this knowing as a still, small voice. A prompting is not a whack on the head with a hammer!
In 1 Kings, the Lord did not use the great and strong wind, the earthquake or fire to prompt Elijah. His voice came to Elijah as a sound of gentle stillness and a still, small voice. A prompting does not even have to be a voice at all. In fact, God often gives direction by speaking to your heart rather than to your ears.
If we will simply learn to listen to God that things will go well for us. No matter what the situation, we need to listen to God and obey His voice. You may not understand the reasons that God is asking you to do certain things, but as you listen to His voice and obey His direction, you can experience a peaceful calmness. So listen up!
Prayer starter: Holy Spirit, help me to listen closely to hear Your promptings every day. I want Your peace, so I will listen to You.
1 Kings 19:12
After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
