A Heart to Know and Ears to Hear: 6

A person may follow what his heart tells him is the will of Hashem. This was the path of Pinchas who acted in a manner that Halacha would not have instructed him. But he and Hashem knew that what he was doing was the true and proper path for himself. This is evident by his being rewarded by Hashem by becoming a Kohen; a position for which he was until then not eligible.

At times a person will find himself in such a situation. He begins to have self doubts, "Who do you think you are to decide that you are listening to Hashem's voice?" He starts to wonder if he isn't perhaps being self-delusional and not standing in a place of truth.

He needs to understand to himself that his truth stands above all other truth. That  "I am wonderful in the eyes of Hashem. Hashem rejoices constantly at the holiness of my soul. Hashem will give me, also, his Covenant of Peace." This is the connection that can be created through proper prayer.
