When You Wonder if You Heard God Wrong

Hello Friend,

It’s Mickey.

Have you ever had a day where you felt like you knew exactly what you were going to do with your life, but by the end of the day you were no longer so sure? I have days like that all the time. Sometimes I feel confident about the dreams and goals God has placed on my heart, and other times I wonder if I somehow heard Him wrong. 

Child of the King, God does not lie when He says He has a plan for your life. He does not lie when He promises to guide His children, and He does not lie when He says He is with us. Sometimes our circumstances change, our emotions change, and our confidence fades, but God’s character does not. 

Psalm 37:4 tells us,

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

When I start questioning whether I heard God correctly, I try to remember that my first responsibility is not figuring out every detail of the future. My first responsibility is delighting in Him. The closer we grow to Christ, the more we learn to recognize His voice and trust His leading.

If you are questioning right now whether you truly heard Him, take a moment and think back to when you first felt that calling or dream. What was happening in your life? Where were you? What made you so confident that God was leading you in that direction? Sometimes we become so focused on our present doubts that we forget the clarity God gave us in the past. 

It can also help to talk with mature Christians you trust. Ask them to pray with you and seek God’s wisdom alongside you. God often uses other believers to encourage us, challenge us, and help us see things from a perspective we may have missed on our own. 

When I find myself doubting, I also ask whether the dream or calling aligns with God’s character. Does it draw me closer to Him? Does it encourage me to trust Him more? Does it give me hope? Scripture reminds us that God’s plans are good.

Jeremiah 29:11 says,

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” 

That does not mean the journey will always be easy. Sometimes God’s plans involve waiting, uncertainty, or obstacles we never expected. However, difficulty does not mean God has abandoned the path He called us to walk. Many people throughout the Bible experienced seasons of waiting before they saw God’s promises fulfilled, yet God remained faithful through every step. 

Friend, if you are struggling with doubt today, remember that God is not afraid of your questions. Keep seeking Him through prayer and Scripture. Keep bringing your worries before Him. He is a loving Father who cares deeply for His children, and He will continue to guide those who pursue Him. 

There is not a single speck of darkness in Him. He will never deceive you, abandon you, or stop loving you. Trust Him, continue walking faithfully, and wait to see what He will do. 

Lovingly,
Mickey Moretti
