The Question Your Soul Has Been Waiting for You to Ask

There is a quiet voice within each of us that knows. It is the voice of clarity, reason, and divine truth, often buried beneath the noise of other people’s opinions, projections, and advice. When we’re searching for answers—whether about our careers, relationships, health, or finances—we instinctively look outward instead of inward. We scroll, we listen to podcasts, we read books, we ask friends, and sometimes even strangers.

And yet, with every outside perspective, we don’t get closer to truth—we get further from it. Instead of clarity, we’re left with a chorus of voices competing for dominance, until our own intuition—the only one that actually knows—is drowned out.

At the core of every question, what we truly seek is truth. We want to understand why something is happening, what it means, and what it’s here to teach us. And the only person who can uncover that wisdom is you. No friend, mentor, or even spiritual teacher can deliver the truth that your own soul already holds.

But we’ve grown so accustomed to outsourcing our knowing that we don’t even pause long enough to sit with ourselves. We’ve become afraid of the silence, afraid of what our soul might say if we dared to ask directly. The ego resists, because the truth is often uncomfortable. It may not align with what our heart is clinging to. It may demand change, release, forgiveness, or patience. And yet, when we finally hear it, something powerful happens: we are set free. The grip of confusion loosens. The weight of uncertainty lifts. We stop fighting reality and begin moving forward with peace.

The way back to this inner knowing is simple. Find a quiet space where you feel safe and grounded. Sit with your own presence. Feel your body from head to toe. Place your hands on your heart. Invite God to speak through your intuition. And then ask your soul the question that cuts through all illusion:

“What is the truth of what I am experiencing?”

The answer will come. It may arrive as a whisper, a knowing, a vision, or a sentence in your mind. It may tell you: “They are not your person. You’re confused because you’re forcing what was never yours.” Or: “This is teaching you not to settle—to trust in faith even when your reality hasn’t caught up yet.” Or perhaps: “You must forgive them. The bitterness in your heart is blocking you from peace.”

Whatever comes forward, trust it. It is not random—it is God speaking through the deepest part of you.

And here lies the real beauty: the more you practice asking this question, the easier it becomes to hear your intuition in everyday life. You begin to move through the world with more ease, less doubt, and a stronger connection to yourself and to God. You stop outsourcing your truth and start living it.

Because the answers you’ve been chasing were never out there. They’ve been within you all along, waiting for you to be still enough, brave enough, and faithful enough to ask.
