I too believe in being honest with God - as you say, no use pretending; He already knows what we're feeling. I haven't felt that God has spoken to me in awhile. Why do you think you hear from Him every day now - did you do something different? You just read the Word every day?

I tend to me more action-oriented so it's hard for me to slow down too. I got direction clearly once when I was not at home - so I was thinking of a change of venue - as you said you went on a hike. Somewhere different. That's good to watch for: the quiet, still, calm, peaceful voice.

Well at least I don't feel alone in my struggle! I'm glad you're being honest. Thanks for sharing that! So when you're seeking His leading it would be fair to say that reading the Word is the best way to hear. We're seeking God about a move and it's been frustrating since we're not getting...

In Psychology Today there is a good overview of how people refuse to accept the truth even when it's before them: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/our-emotional-footprint/201512/the-denial-reality

denial [dĕ-ni´al] in psychiatry, a defense mechanism in which the existence of unpleasant internal or external realities is denied and kept out ofconscious awareness. By keeping the stressors out of consciousness, they are prevented from causing anxiety. ineffective denial a nursing diagnosis...

I don't think you're facing truth. Truth is in the videos. It doesn't matter that you were mayor - that doesn't mean a thing. You had a title. That doesn't confer on you to be the determiner of what is true and what is not. Because Pelosi has a title, does that mean that what she says is...

Christ was about truth and justice.

Did you see the Robert Leone video? This was the absolute worst video I have ever watched. See if you can stomach it. https://www.opposingviews.com/category/video-motorist-robert-leone-beaten-pennsylvania-troopers

I too think we need to speak against abuse; often if we do not then that same evil will come to swallow us at some point. As you say, if we don't speak up then we align with it. One cannot excuse behavior that vile. Imagine the emotional toll at having been beaten in the face and having one's...

God desires truth in our inmost being. He removes the veil that Satan has on our minds. I believe that after our initial salvation there is a progressive removing of lies and delusion from our thinking. From what I've seen no one holds them accountable. The state troopers who beat Mr. Leone...

I've been trying to seek God's directions on some things and I have some kind of block there. It's been there awhile and I don't know how to break through. I've had a few times that were uncanny - I felt direction come to me as something gentle alighting - but for the most part I seek and seek...

I'm trying to be more in tune with inner leadings - like you said, we sometimes dismiss those sometimes mild feelings or shrug them off when we shouldn't. Your story sounds like mine - it turned out to be a disaster to ignore those promptings. Your story is a cautionary tale - you trusted...

No. I believe that police should control people who are obviously breaking the law. What I don't agree with are the unnecessary brutalizations. And they're really being brutal and sick. Please start reading up on this - it has grown very bad. No one holds them accountable. I was speaking with...

You think that God is giving us over to evil because America has turned from Him? It happened with the Israelites.

I watched several American History Channel documentaries I had recorded months ago. They were about Nazi Germany. I was shocked that the extermination of human beings happened in the 1940's, a mere 10 years before I was born. It was shocking that humans would go along with such mass evil yet I...

The health and wealth preachers really do damage because I know how badly they misled me before I developed any discernment. Paul faced the peril of false brethren. There's a difference when a moment or two of worldliness breaks through in a Christian - I've seen it even in myself. It's when...

I think that says it all - there is no "right" denomination - wherever there are people there is going to be man and his flesh entering in - and doctrinal error or misinterpretation of Scripture. You're lucky if you can find a place that gets a fair amount of things right. I do think there are...

There is a lot of wisdom in this. Who are we going to judge something by - and who of us is going to be the judge? While I don't agree with other things, such as judging another's choice of church, Core Issue did have a point that can be important: You can't just teach the love of God as some...
