Ask God to lead and guide you in submitting your 5 senses to Him, in thankfulness, and then:
Give thanks for something you can see right now (wherever you are at this moment). Give thanks for something you can feel right now (your face, wind, a carpet, clothing, etc.) Give thanks for something you can hear right now (your breathing, traffic noise, a bird, etc.) Give thanks for something you can smell right now (your shampoo, dust, trees, food, etc.) Give thanks for something you can taste right now (even if its just tasting your own saliva) Be still before the Lord. Ask and believe He will speak into your heart. Wait and be still until you hear from Him. Your "hearing" may be by feeling or sensing, not by words. It should be some type of knowing or hearing that brings you closer to a sense of God and His presence with you.

1 Peter 1:3-7 (NLT)
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. Ask Holy Spirit to show you something in your life to change (anything; simple is best to start).
Ask Holy Spirit to guide you to a scripture (short is best to start) that applies to what will be changing in you. Think on that scripture over and over and over and ask for revelation. Visualize and imagine and feel yourself living to that scripture. If you are tempted to think of fear or failure, it's ok, just redirect your thoughts to the scripture promise. If there is anything Holy Spirit shows you that you need to repent of (ask forgiveness and let it go, turn away) then do so and eliminate that blockage. Thank God He has made the change in your life, so your life conforms to His Word, talk about it, act on it, partner with and pay attention to "the still small voice" inside you - God's Holy Spirit - and ask for continuing direction and application and insight on this issue. You may see various "aspects" peel off you until you get to a completely changed place. God changes you. Its Grace. Think on the scripture actively. But also give yourself some times to just relax, come into God's presence, ask for His guidance, ask Him to show you His vision for you on this matter, and just let your mind wander and daydream and commune with God. Rest. It's not work. Trust Him. |
