The point of this third conversation with your friend/mentor is to gain more clarity on what together you feel God is saying to you.

Remember, the ultimate goal is not to affirm your own point of view or get wisdom from your friend/mentor. The goal is to learn to hear God in the conversation.

With that in mind, use the following outline for your conversation: 

Spend time in prayer together, focusing on inviting the Holy Spirit to lead your conversation with each other. 

Re-read Psalm 139 out loud in the 1st person. Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows everything about us and that He desires to lead us. Praying this Psalm sets up your conversation with the proper perspective. 

Set a time limit for this second conversation that is acceptable to both you and your friend.

Ask your friend/mentor the questions you have prepared for this conversation.

Ask your friend/mentor to SHARE anything that came to their mind as they prayed for you since you last met.

End with a time of prayer, committing to follow God’s voice in areas where you are in agreement, and to seek Him further in areas where you are not yet aligned.

Set an expectation for your next connection.

Now that you have a rhythm of what hearing God together looks like, consider continuing the process of active prayer for each other and regular check-ins.

Don’t let this be the end of your time together, but make it a regular discipline you can utilize throughout your life when you are trying to seek the voice of God.
