While driving home feeling overwhelmed and stressed, Katie Owen attempted to call three close friends for support, but none answered. While sobbing on the side of the road, she felt a voice ask why she considered God her fourth option. After praying for guidance on who she should talk to, she received an impression to call an acquaintance. The acquaintance answered immediately, stating she had been thinking about Katie and provided advice specifically tailored to the situation Katie was experiencing.
Fuller account of this event (paraphrased from the cited modern source):
Overwhelmed by life stressors, Katie Owen attempted to call three trusted mentors but received no answer from any of them. A distinct impression asked why she had not turned to God first, prompting her to pray and express gratitude. She subsequently felt guided to call a different acquaintance, who answered immediately and provided the specific support she needed.
In Their Own Words
“That’s when a loud voice seemed to say to me, “ Why am I your fourth option? ” I broke down and immediately began praying to Heavenly Father. I apologized to Him, then thanked Him for reminding me that He was there... Almost instantly, I got an impression to call another amazing woman in my life. I hesitated, though, because I hadn’t talked to her in a while. She wasn’t part of the close circle of people I typically turned to, and I wasn’t sure if she’d have the right advice for me; I didn’t want to bother her. But the impression was so strong that I knew she was the person I needed to call. I dialed her number, and she picked up on one of the first rings. “I was just thinking about you,” she said through the phone. “You’ve been on my mind the last few days. How have you been?” I was stunned. I told her what was going on in my life, and she shared a personal experience with me—one that was almost identical to what I was going through. — LDS Living, LDS Living”
