Dear Marcel, it is truly beautiful to see your spiritual hunger and your sincere desire to draw closer to the Lord. I completely understand how you feel: when facing the future and its uncertainties, it is natural to seek protection and feel a sense of urgency. However, always remember that Scripture tells us God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. The best preparation for any future challenge is simply abiding in Jesus today, without allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by anxiety. To hear God's voice and draw closer to His heart, the starting point is always His written Word. In John 10, Jesus says that His sheep know His voice and follow Him: the more you read the Bible, the more your mind will become accustomed to His tone of voice, learning to distinguish it from your own thoughts or the voice of fear. Learn to seek moments of true silence in prayer, not only to speak to God, but to listen to Him. His voice often comes as a gentle whisper that brings peace, love, and steadfastness, without ever contradicting what is written in Scripture. Walk each day in small steps of obedience and love, trusting that He is already holding you securely in His hand and that anyone who seeks Him with all their heart will always find His presence. If you like, feel free to share: is there a passage of Scripture or a specific moment in your day where you would like to begin this journey?
