Acknowledgement
We can start our life-long journey of hearing from God by acknowledging His presence. Daily, we make numerous decisions. When we acknowledge that He’s there, this will lead us to our second step, asking.

Asking
During decision time, we should ask God. Even if we think we know what we should do, ask God. This gets us out of making decisions based on logic or emotions.

Wait
Wait on God to provide an answer. Don’t be so quick to make a decision just because the answer didn’t come in half a second. Wait on God to provide an answer.

Receive Peace
God’s answers will give us a unexplained sense of peace. Colossians 3:15 (AMP) says, let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. Even if we’re scared or don’t feel like making a God decision, deep down we’ll have a sense of peace that this is the right thing to do.

Receive Grace
If we intentionally or unintentionally didn’t consult God after making a decision, receive God’s grace. No need to beat ourselves up about not consulting God. We’ll have plenty of chances to do that. Simply make the effort to acknowledge, ask, wait, and receive peace on the next decision.
