    How can I hear the voice of God?
    Community Answer
    God sometimes comes in your conscience. If your friends are leading you to do something bad and you think to yourself, "this isn't good, I need back out right away!" then back out! God doesn't want you to do it. You won't hear the absolute voice of God, it would be too frightening. Just trust that you will feel God speaking to you. Sometimes it comes from answering your own question. You might ask a question to God of distress, and suddenly an answer dawns on you. It's not your answer, it's God's.
