How do we know if the Lord is calling us?

Answered in 1 source

We recognize God's call through His Word and our sincere desire to respond to it.

Recognizing God's call is an important aspect of the Christian experience. It often unfolds over time and is confirmed through the individual's engagement with Scripture. As 1 Samuel 3 illustrates, Samuel did not initially understand the call, yet he responded each time God spoke. Similarly, in our lives, the Lord may use a preacher or Scripture to open our ears to His voice. Romans 10:17 states that faith comes by hearing, and as a person engages with God's Word, they become more attuned to His call. A believer's desire to hear and respond—'Speak, Lord, for your servant hears'—is a strong indicator of this divine calling.
