Or we think we hear something the other person never meant to imply. It can all be very confusing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important when praying or <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/bible-verses\/bible-verses-about-faith\/5-bible-verses-to-help-you-hear-gods-voice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reading the Bible to listen carefully<\/a>\u2026for God\u2019s tone.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible tells us that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/pets\/dogs\/blessed-by-a-brave-dog-and-a-kind-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lord is compassionate<\/a> and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love\u201d (Psalm 103:8 NIV). Yet for various reasons, including our own personalities or past experiences, we may \u201chear\u201d a harsh, even cruel tone from Him. <\/p>\n<p>When Jesus\u2019 closest friends and followers cried out to Him for help on the turbulent Sea of Galilee, before <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily_devotional\/calming-the-storm-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">He calmed the storm<\/a>, He said, \u201cYou of little faith, why are you so afraid?\u201d (Matthew 8:26 NIV). We read the words, but what tone do we \u201chear?\u201d Anger? Impatience? Disgust? But perhaps His tone was \u201ccompassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>I try to remember that verse from Psalm 103 when I\u2019m reading my Bible and praying, especially when I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/when-god-speaks-how-well-do-you-listen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trying to <em>listen<\/em> in prayer.<\/a> Maybe it\u2019s because I grew up as the youngest in my family or that I\u2019ve always craved approval from those I love or some other reason, but I often tend to \u201chear\u201d my Lord speaking sternly to me. \u201cYou of little faith, why are you so afraid?\u201d Or \u201cWhy did you doubt?\u201d (Matthew 14:31 NIV). Or \u201cWhy do you worry?\u201d (Matthew 6:28 NIV). <\/p>\n<p>But as I grow in faith, I am learning to hear a different tone when I pray or read God\u2019s Word. I\u2019m listening for His \u201ccompassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love\u201d voice. When I remember to listen for God\u2019s tone, it often changes the whole conversation. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/how-hearing-gods-voice-provides-comfort-and-reassurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How do you hear God\u2019s tone of voice?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among the many shortcomings of email and texting is that they don\u2019t always accurately convey the sender\u2019s tone of voice.
