Hey, do you guys know that the God who created the universe wants to talk with you, and not just once, but every day?

Today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick Warren continues his life-changing series called Hearing the Voice of God,

where he reveals how you can tune into God's voice,

build on a real friendship with him, and discover his direction for your life, loud and clear.

Here I am. I'm getting called. Okay, I'm really, really, really calm. Okay, ready. Okay, I'm ready. God. I'm calm. I'm calm. No, no. It wouldn't work that way. You just got to take some deep breaths and you've got to calm down. Now, in Habakkuk chapter 2, here's the thing he does.
