Instincts

Daily writing prompt

Do you trust your instincts?

View all responses

I trust my instincts because I believe that they are a spiritual force. I believe it’s a way that God communicates with us to discern good from bad, trust from falsehood, and to make choices that strengthen faith.

I believe that that gut feeling is like listening to the Holy Spirit that guides us.

That feeling I get in my gut either gives me peace or turmoil. If it gives me peace, I know I’m making the right choice if I feel turmoil, it’s time to back away.

But there’s also a need for balance. It must be anchored with wisdom from God rather than wisdom on ourselves because it by itself can be misleading or driven by fear.
