Jill Wagner Talks Signs From God: ‘God Was Talking to Me’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Movieguide® award nominee and Great American Family actress Jill Wagner shared how God communicates to us through signs.
The actress explained that after she established her relationship with God in her 30s, she began to see Him working in her life every day.
“It’s like my eyes were wide open, and I started to see signs from God and how God was talking to me all the time. Like every single day. Whereas before, I don’t know, I guess I didn’t have the lines of communication open up there,” Wagner began.
“My point is, they’re there,” she said of signs from God. “And I was thinking about the signs, which I always would ask God, ‘Give me a sign if I should do this thing or not do this thing’ …all of that, which I’m sure we all have done.”
The actress shared that there was one particular time when she asked God, “You know, if I’m going to be okay, I need to turn on the radio and hear, ‘Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.'” The song came on, and to this day, it reminds her that God’s in control.
“I just also want to remind you that signs don’t always have to be objects or like a song or a rainbow or something like that,” Wagner added. “I feel like they can be people. They can be people coming in and out of our lives. I think some people are meant to stay in our lives, and I think other people are lessons and signs and all of the great things that God does in our life.”
Wagner has been open about her faith in the past.
“There was a time in my life I felt alone, sad, distant like there was nothing left to fight for…then I looked up, asked for help and HE came,” she shared about coming to faith. “I just want to remind people that God is always around if you ever need to speak to him. HE listens.”
In a Facebook post, Wagner wrote, “I thank GOD every single day for the breath in my lungs, my beautiful family, my solid friends and for the gift of being able to walk this earth as a healthy woman. #life #amen #GOD #thankful”

Actress Jill Wagner recently opened up about the moment she surrendered her desires to God and how He transformed her life.
“You know, I kind of went through a really down phase of my life where I was feeling really down and depressed and kind of lost, I would say lost would be the best word,” the Movieguide® Grace Prize nominee expressed.
“On paper, my life looked perfect. I was this actress, and I was traveling all around, and everything was exciting. But really all I wanted was stability, and I wanted a family, and I wanted a husband, and I didn’t quite understand what was wrong with me and why couldn’t have those things,” she continued.
“So, I started talking to God and I started telling God, ‘Here’s my problems. Here’s my issues. Here’s what I need in my life’ and then letting go of it all,” Wagner explained.
“And then there was something that came over me, and it was like an energy,” she said. “It was God, I guess. It was like a big bear hug. And it was the feeling that no matter what, with or without a husband or family or anything that, I was loved, and I was going to be okay.
“And then I started to feel like ‘Wow, maybe I’m going to be good being alone by myself,’ but not really by myself because I had God. So that was what I needed. I think I needed to know that God was with me no matter what and then I let it go.”
