June 1 Devotional — Podcast Summary:
Hear God's voice more clearly through prayer and stillness in this week's devotional from Valarie Rocha on the Divine 515 podcast. In this opening episode of the brand new Listening at the Throne series, Valarie explores one of the greatest desires many believers carry — hearing God more clearly — and unpacks why it begins not with performance but with relationship, drawing from John 10:27 where Jesus declares that His sheep know His voice.
Valarie reminds us that throughout Scripture, God consistently spoke when people slowed down enough to pay attention. The more time we spend in prayer, in His Word, and in intentional stillness, the more familiar His voice becomes. Just as God spoke to Elijah not in the fire or the storm but in a still, soft, quiet voice — hearing Him requires creating space and fighting against distraction.
This devotional closes with a prayer asking God to quiet the distractions around us, help us slow down and recognize His voice in everyday life, and draw us deeper into intimacy with Him.
