On God and Getting Answers
From Oprah After the Show, March 1st, 2005

“The voice of God comes through everybody. You can not
hear it. The voice of God, even if you don’t believe in God,
because God doesn’t get hung up on a title or name or whatever.
call it Spirit. Call it Nature. Call it your inner voice. Call it
whatever, but you cannot hear it if you have the voices of the world
drowning out the voice of God inside you, but the voice of God
always, always speaks to you, and it’s always quiet. It’s always
quiet so you gotta get really quiet. You’ve got to get still in
order to hear it, and it will lead you to the best place in all of
your endeavors if you can get still enough to hear it. You can’t
hear it if you’re asking your sister what to do, and you can’t hear
it if you are asking your momma what to do, and everyone around
me what should I do. You can never hear it, but if you get really
still. I always do this for any crisis or problem or whatever.
When you don’t know what to do you do nothing. You do
absolutely nothing. You get really still so that you can feel that
energy come through you, and it will lead you to the best place.”
