There is a voice within each of us that does not waver. It does not rush, fear, or argue—it simply speaks truth. This voice is calm, steady, and rooted in presence. Some call it intuition, but at its core, it is the imprint of God’s Spirit guiding us back to alignment with His will.
Life often drowns out this voice. Fear, worry, and anxiety take up residence, leaving us second-guessing or overthinking every step. Over time, we may even stop trusting ourselves—forgetting that God designed us with an inner compass meant to point us toward peace. Intuition is not something to be built; it is something to be uncovered by removing the noise.
But even when we hear it, the question remains: how do we know if it is truly God’s whisper, or simply our own thoughts in disguise?
There is a simple question that cuts through the confusion: What is the truth?
When faced with decisions, uncertainty, or spirals of overthinking, pause. Ask this question—not to your racing mind, but to your heart before God. Sit in silence. Let the thoughts pass without grasping. As you wait, notice where the answer lands. Truth feels different. It carries peace, even if it challenges you. It quiets fear, even when it requires courage. It softens the body, as if releasing tension you didn’t know you were holding.
The ego shouts; God’s truth whispers. The ego complicates; God clarifies. When you ask, “What is the truth?” you create space for the Spirit to move. And often the answers are simple:
Stay.
Go.
Pray.
Trust My timing.
This isn’t for you.
You are safe.
I am here.
These gentle revelations may not come with proof, but they bring an unmistakable sense of calm. They remind us that God is present, even in our waiting. They shift our focus from fear to faith, from striving to surrender.
The more often we ask this question, the more attuned we become. We begin to recognize the difference between falsehood and truth, between impulse and direction. Over time, our decisions grow lighter because we are no longer guessing—we are listening. We find ourselves walking away from relationships, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve us, while stepping boldly into new paths that once felt uncertain.
To ask, What is the truth? is to invite God into the moment. It is to acknowledge Him as the source of wisdom, the discerner of hearts, the keeper of clarity. As Scripture says, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
This freedom is available to us daily, in every choice, in every breath. All it takes is a pause, a question, and the willingness to listen.
Because God is always speaking. The only question is: are we still enough to hear Him?
