Welcome to part 2 of our series “Building a Relationship With God.”

In part I, I spoke about three main elements that we need to develop in order to build a relationship with God: talking to God, hearing God talk to us, and learning God’s word.

I am not sure if there is any real order of how we should approach these three areas – I would think that if we asked three different people we might get three different answers.  However, whether learning God’s word first, learning to listen for God, or learning to talk to God should come first is really not too important as long as we start somewhere and then work on putting all three together.

One of the wonderful things about The Whisper of God community is the fact that we can share with each other our relationship with God. 

The Whisper of God FaceBook community is a very active community (the FaceBook page can be found here). It is heartwarming to see questions being posed by some and answered by others.  It is awesome to be part of a group of like minded people asking for prayers and praying for and supporting each other.  We learn and grow through each others experiences.

Part of the way we support each other is through an open discussion of God, how God has come into our lives, and how He continues to have an impact on our lives.

As some of you might know, The Whisper of God community has grown substantially over the past ten days due to a new FaceBook page that I launched.  As part of the page, many members of our community have been sending in prayer requests.  One struck me this morning that said:

“I ask for prayers for my families esp my daughters and I; we just lost our husband, son, brother, and dad. he took ill on his way to iraq. thank you”

I wrote the following in response to this prayer request:

Isn’t it funny how there are certain times of your life, even from a very young age, that the memory of those times seem to stick with you.  Not only do they stick with you, they are associated with feelings that you can still feel as if it were yesterday.

I am sure we all have many of them.

I remember the day my children were born and being the first one to hold them like it was yesterday even though it was 21 and 23 years ago.

I must admit that the feedback that I have been getting on both The Whisper of God website and The Whisper of God FaceBook page (www.facebook.com/TheWhisperofGod) has been overwhelming and very humbling.

For those members of our FaceBook community that haven’t yet visited the web site for The Whisper of God, there is a little slideshow that runs when you are on the home page.  The captions on the pictures are as follows:

• God is with us everyday
• And always is speaking to us
• Not in a loud booming voice
• But in a whisper
• That we must learn to hear
