The Holy Spirit leads the man's spirit, not [merely] the man's mind. Guidance is not discovered in relation to the problem, but guidance is discovered in relation to Jesus Christ... We want to stand up for ourselves and have our own way; but it is the MEEK whom God guides in judgment [Psalm 25:8,9]. The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart... If a man in his heart is right with God, God will deal with the problem. We often start the question of guidance at the wrong end. We are TRYING all the time; we are worrying our way through; we are panicky. What shall we do next? What is the next step in life? We are concerned about our mind. God is concerned about our spirit - the humble. the Contrite, and the brokenhearted - that man God will always guide.
