While in the presence of His Creator who is free from all need and want...

While in the presence of His Creator who is free from all need and want, asks one's needs and what is distressing him and asks Him to guide to what is truly the best. At this time, the person will look deep in his heart, and through soul searching, would see which path to follow is stronger in his soul. This will be the answer to his Istikhara , and with certainty and satisfaction, would go ahead with one's plans.
