My daily connection is similar to Nilahk's. I sense a gentle leading. To give you a more concrete example, though, I'll give you a more controversial one.
A death occured in our house several years ago. I was a believer and tried to trust God through this event, but there was an overwhelming dark presence --almost tangible--in our upstairs, mostly in the hall. I hated to go up there, and slept on the couch for weeks.
I prayed about my fears, but came to a point where I was so sick of it, I said "God, this isn't working. I really can't live with this dark thing in the house forever." I had learned about spiritual warfare years before, but had grown passive about it.
I turned on the radio, and a pastor was speaking about casting out demons without all the formal oohs and ahs of an exorcism. He instructed believers to just tell the demon audibly to go away. I knew in my spirit that I had to do that, and was a bit afraid of this thing growing or coming after me. I whispered very faintly, so no one else could hear me, "in the name of Jesus, go"--really not expecting that would work...just hoping. Immediately this presence fizzled down to nothing and disappeared. It never returned.
God was not only in the driving away, but God was also in the conviction to do it, the timing of turning on the radio show, and the hearing of my prayer.
