Receiving Revelation
Man is apt to look too high or expect too great things so that they often times mistake the Spirit of God and the inspiration of the Almighty. It is not in the thunder or whirlwind that we should look for the Spirit of God but in the still small voice.
Wilford Woodruff
If we stop and feel during prayer, we sometimes hear a still small voice, which enters quietly into our mind and heart. It is so simple and so precise that we often pass it by, thinking that it is just our own idea or a passing thought, not revelation. However, as we reconcile these wisperings to what we know to be true, we soon learn to recognize them; and by recognizing them, we become more able to listen carefully.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
