We can't know infallibly if a certain feeling came from God, or the Devil, or ourselves. But we can, and must, recognize the hand of the Sovereign Lord in all things.

For example, the man who changed lanes at the last minute is in no place to claim that that "feeling" incontrovertably came from God. But he can say, and undeniably so, that God didn't want him dead on the bridge that day, and used that "feeling" to accomplish this purpose, whether it came from the Holy Spirit's prompting (who, remember, does dwell in us), or the man himself, or whatever. So I think the important thing is that we trust the Lord with the outcomes, trusting in Him alone, rather then putting our trust in the means, or getting stuck on them.

That's my $0.02.
