God is infinite. He can do whatever needs to be done. If you must have a sign of confirmation, He can give it. When I sensed God’s call on my life to go into full-time ministry as a vocation, I had a preaching opportunity and asked God to give me confirmation. When nearly half the audience dedicated their lives to God, I knew that was my sign of confirmation. Do you need clear confirmation that the direction you are heading is what God is calling you to do? Do as Gideon did. Ask God to give you a sign. – Dr. Dave Earley

“I have sinned.” So states one of the most effective—and one of the most difficult—prayers recorded in the Bible. Pride hates to admit weakness, and arrogance dislikes acknowledging shortcomings. Just ask Adam and Eve. Rather than owning their sin, Adam blamed God and Eve blamed the serpent. But God knew the truth (Genesis 3:8–13). I have found that when God convicts us of sin, the easiest thing to say is “yes.” Silence, excuses, rationalization, and deflection don’t work. Forgiveness comes through confession. – Dr. Dave Earley

I believe that God wants and is able to give us our deepest, “pure motive” desires. If you’re burdened like Rhonda and Hannah, identify the deep, God-sized desire of your heart. Ask God for it persistently, earnestly, and honestly with fasting until you get a response. Of course, if the request is not for the best, God may not answer, or He may let you wait for a long stretch of time until your motives are purified. But if your desire is God given, and God purified, then watch out. You may be given your own “Samuel” to give back to the Lord so that He might bless others. – Dr. Dave Earley
