The still small voice is heaven's system for distributing God's love and guidance on earth. The still small voice works in two different ways. One way is through loving PROMPTINGS. Promptings are inner urges, often arising without words, that move us to serve others in very timely and specific ways. They point us in the right direction, and give us just the right energy boost to perfectly perform our mission. The other way the still small voice works is by TEACHING. The teachings of the still small voice come as insights that suddenly shed light on a situation or solve a perplexing problem. Even when promptings and teachings seem to be directed toward the happiness of others more than our own, a person who obeys the still small voice enjoys great happiness in the process. See Article
