Sometimes people tell me they have problems hearing God’s voice. It is important that we hear when God speaks to us. He tells us several times in the Bible to listen and be obedient to His voice. He also says that if we will seek Him (this means to actively search for Him, to be serious about wanting Him and wanting to hear from Him), we will be able to find Him.

Deuteronomy 4:29-31  But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Since we are to be obedient to His voice, we need to know how to hear God when He speaks to us. Let’s look at an example from Elijah. Elijah had just won a battle with evil and false prophets. Then, when the started searching for him to kill him, he let his fear take over and he ran away – afraid. He went and hid in the mountains. God found him, hiding there in the mountain. God told Elijah how to hear His voice when He speaks. (Can you imagine – even Elijah had problems hearing God’s voice at time – so you see, we are not alone in this problem.)
