One winter's night I was driving home. The roads were very icy. I had a strong urge to get home via an alternative route, I even subconsciously started taking that route, but I literally stopped and against my inner warning, I took the usual route. Within minutes of this decision, my car skidded off the road and I was in a bad accident. If I had listened to my gut, so much of my time and money could have been saved.

I sincerely believe this yes. The voice at the root of your soul where individual energy and world energy meet and benefit one another for the betterment of the world and the self. The world looks after itself and you as part of itself.

Personally, i don't believe in inner voices. I think that an "Inner voice" is actually your subconscious that tries to make you do a certain thing, something like gut feeling. You have probably looked at both roads and your subconscious realized that that road was more dangerous, had more ice, etc, based on little snippets of information that you was not aware of yourself. In response to your question, i think that i do sometimes listen, but who knows what would have happened if you took the other road instead? You might not even be sitting at the computer now!

Yes, in '79 I was walking in the dark when an inner voice commanded me to halt. I did so. When I could see I found myself a step away from a 5'-8" long Western Diamondback rattlesnake ready to strike. The snake never rattled a warning and I am sure it would have bitten me if I had not stopped when I did.
Guardian Angel? I think so.

Yes, one day i was driving home, there was this van in front, i noticed it had a HUGE piece of plywood tied down. Suddenly I had to change lanes, just had to, as SOON as I changed lanes, the piece of plywood blew off the top of the van. Saved my life maybe, or at least the integrity of my vehicle. Too many times this has happened for me NOT to listen. Of course, I come off seeming a little paranoid....

The still small voice of God's Holy Spirit keeps me from making disasterous mistakes. When I had been a Christian for about 5 months and was just out of a rehab program I was working as a file clerk in a job through the Veterans administration for $9.50/hr about 30 miles from home. I decided to spend 80 of my last 120 dollars on a month long train pass. When I got to work I found out that all of the Veterans were being laid off due to a paperwork snafu, probably for a couple of weeks.
I went to work angry and decided that I was going to get drunk after work since I didn't have to show up for a while and it didn't seem like all of my hard work and faithfulness were paying off. Just as these thoughts were going through my head I suddenly had a clear audio memory of my Pastor teaching on Jeremiah 29:11 and telling us that God has a great plan for every believers life.
I thought to myself "yeah, that's right, God is supposed to have a great plan for my life" So I told God that his plan didn't seem all that great but instead of drinking I was going to watch and see how his plan would work out.
The next day I went by the rehab program and a friend told me about a job at the airport. I went and applied during my time off and a couple of weeks later they called me to tell me I was hired at $14 an hour. So I gave my notice and showed up for the training. The first thing they told us was that they were losing their contract at the end of the month and we would all lose our jobs at the same time.
I worked for 6 days, 2 in classroom training and 4 on the job where by lunch of the last day I was finally certified on all the tasks at the security checkpoint. Then I was given my last check along with a $200 bonus and ushered out the door.
I had about 2 weeks before I was going to be interviewed by the new company and what I now realize was the Holy Spirit, I felt an urge to find out more about the company. I went to a job fair that was a madhouse where I found out that if someone had worked at the airport and was certified on all of the tasks and had supervisory experience in another job, they didn't have to apply as just a regular screener. They could apply to be a team leader.
I ended up getting the job and I made over $52,000 my first year in a job that I had no prior experience in. Praise the Lord! I now know that it was the Holy Spirit who reminded me of God's Word when I was sorely tempted and who kept me strong and in God's will for my life.
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may abide with you forever, 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you....But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and will remind you of all things which I said to you. John 14:26
