My wife sometimes gets those “soft quiet voice” things when she prays.

One time she was on a committee to choose our next pastor. Prayed and prayed over names. “God - who should we pick!?”

The answer was “You’ll know.”

Not exactly what she wanted!! But it turned out being the right answer - in the end it was obvious who they should pick.

Same when she was with my dying mother. How long should she stay? Should she go back home to get the kids in school. What if mom lives for another six months. Prayed and prayed.

“Lord - when should I go back home?”

And again that same quiet voice.

With the same stupid answer! “You’ll know”!!

And of course - it was the right answer.

Yes - there is another plane of existence out there. Some are more tuned in than others.

Thanks for sharing that. Maybe God doesn't give us specific answers when He knows we will know when the time comes, whereas He is not bound by time.

Maybe it is a good thing we don't get all the answers the way we would want. And I have gotten a lot of wrong things or weird and/or never made sense.

I don't blame God for those. It feels like I was being trained and never ready for the big league ;-). I don't mind at all. One little miracle here and there is worth it and also consoling,
