How can I actually hear God's voice?

God still speaks, mainly through His Word — the Bible is His clearest, most reliable voice. As you read it prayerfully, the Holy Spirit brings verses to mind, convicts, comforts, and guides. He also speaks through a settled inner peace, wise counsel from mature believers, and circumstances. His sheep know His voice because they spend time with Him. Anything that contradicts Scripture is not from God. Slow down, get quiet, read, and listen — His voice grows clearer with practice.
