Trust the Still Small Voice

I want to share a true story about following an inner nudge and trusting God to guide me. I noticed that a colleague had left everything at their desk, including high value items like a watch and an iPad, and when I called them their voice carried a tone of lost hope I had never in all my years in human resources made a call for a wellness check before, but this time I listened to that quiet prompting and called the police The officer later told me I had saved his life He was only minutes from taking his life Now he is thriving and serving in a high power position

My message is simple and urgent Be still and listen God speaks through that still small voice inside of us When something feels off do not be afraid to follow that instinct You do not need to have all the answers to act Sometimes a call, a message, or staying with someone for a few minutes is the life raft they need

During Suicide Awareness Month my intention is to shine a light on the people who look normal on the outside but are drowning on the inside To anyone who feels there is no hope hear this there is always hope You can be the light for someone today

If you or someone is in immediate danger call 911 In the United States you can also reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for support You do not have to carry this alone

This person was so grateful that they later sent me flowers with a heartfelt note, a reminder that even the smallest act of obedience to God’s prompting can change the entire course of a life. I will always cherish that gift, not because of the flowers themselves, but because it symbolizes hope restored and a life redeemed.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
