A strong feature of a child’s security is the comforting voices of family and caregivers. Nothing calms a troubled child or adult like the calming voice of a loving parent or trusted friend. Conversely, a persistent and angry voice trying to gain and maintain harsh, neurotic control can destroy faith and trust.
The internal voice we listen to is influential and powerful. Its intent can be godly and filled with goodness or, on the other hand, can direct us toward what is evil and sure to end in pain and grief. Our internal voice can be calm, urging us to be loving and kind, or saturated with anger or fear.
Temptation’s voice deceives and attempts to destroy your faith. God’s voice from Deuteronomy 30:19-20 instructs you on how to escape temptation’s snare. “Now choose life by choosing to love the Lord your God so that you and your children may live. Hold fast to him, for his voice leads to life and peace.” Believe this.

Cry for help and you’ll find it is grace and more grace.
The moment he hears, he’ll answer… [The Holy Spirit] will be right there, local
and on the job, urging you on whenever you wander left or right.
