My wife and I were staying with some friends over the Eid-ul Fitr holiday. During my devotions one morning I asked the Lord what he wanted me to do that day. I heard the Lord tell me to pray for the family we were staying with—with them present.

Later that morning I had breakfast with two men in the household. As the food was being served, I asked if I could pray before the day began. They agreed. I prayed for good sales at their business—a stall in a food court at a nearby mall.

After the prayer, I thought to myself, Maybe that prayer wasn’t so wise. Their business has been losing money ever since it started.

At the end of the day, we got some news. They just had their highest sales ever!

Listening to God is easy and we can learn to hear his voice.
