Seven Ways God Could Be Reaching Out To You

There are several ways God can speak to you but you may not know these signs. Here are 7 ways God could be reaching out to you.

1. While serving others
   Have you ever served someone, and while you were serving, you got the feeling that you should change something in your life? Has someone you served said something that had a life-changing impact in your life? This is God speaking to you.

   2. Studying your scriptures
   There is an old saying that says, “When you want to talk to God, you pray. When he wants to talk to you, you read your scriptures.”

   3. Acts of kindness from other people
   Have you ever had a bad day, and at the moment you need it most someone approaches you to tell you are an awesome person? Or when everyone in your family is sick, and a friend brings over a huge pot of soup to share?

   4. Feelings that come to your heart
   Often times, when we pray, we expect a huge sign from God. However, most of the time, he speaks to us through the feelings in our heart. Have you ever prayed and felt this overwhelming peace? That is God letting you know he is there for you and is telling you yes to the things you are asking.

   5. Tender mercies
   “Tender mercies” are like little love notes God sends us to let us know he is there for us. This can be anything: You get a phone call from your mom at the moment you were thinking of her. You didn’t think your car was going to start and it all of sudden starts. These are the moments God is telling you he is there for you.

   6. Thoughts that come to your mind
   Sometimes thoughts can come to your mind to do something that you have never done before. In the end, it benefited you from doing it. It could be as simple as trying to solve a math problem for homework in a different way and you find the right answer.

   7. Accepting God’s will above all else
   Many times, God is giving a clear answer, and you are not willing to accept it. It could be that he is prompting you to go in a direction you never thought of before, and it is something you don’t necessarily want to do.
