divine guidance

God's hand leading

Divine guidance is direction or insight believed to come from God or a higher spiritual power.

It implies that important decisions or life paths are shaped not by human reasoning alone but by supernatural influence: She felt divine guidance led her to the ministry.

People seek divine guidance through prayer, meditation, or sacred texts, trusting that answers will come from beyond themselves.
