Life can get pretty busy, can't it? Between work, family, responsibilities and everything else on your mind, finding a few quiet minutes can be difficult. Even when you finally sit down, your thoughts often keep racing.

And sometimes, in the middle of all that busyness, you wonder whether you're missing something God might be trying to tell you.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson talks about hearing God’s voice in the ordinary, quiet moments of everyday life. Drawing on the story of Elijah and the gentle whisper of God in First Kings Chapter nineteen, Ken explores how slowing down, even for just two minutes, can help you become more aware of God's presence, recognise the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit, and find greater peace in your daily walk with him.

You don't need a perfect prayer routine or hours of silence. Sometimes it's simply putting your phone aside, sitting quietly with your morning coffee, or taking a moment before getting on with your next job.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why a busy mind can make it harder to notice God's gentle prompting.
• How two minutes of quiet prayer can help you slow down and spend time with God.
• How to recognise everyday opportunities to encourage someone or show kindness.
• Why Scripture matters when you're learning to recognise God's voice.
• How to trust God even when you don't have all the answers.

Through simple reflections on Scripture and practical examples, Ken offers encouragement for growing in Christian faith, finding peace and making room for prayer in everyday life.

Take a few minutes today to listen. And perhaps share this episode with someone who could use a little quiet encouragement.
