If you're thinking about the assurance of the voice of God, first remember how the voice of the devil comes as thoughts that brings you fear;
When you feel a sudden pain on your back, and that voice tells you that's an organ failure. It was only a bad sleeping or sitting posture that led to that pain, but he wants to shove fear down your throat at all cost. When someone close to you temporarily falls ill and the enemy whispers, reminding you of how someone with a lesser illness died a few years back. And you literally have to jerk yourself out of fear into speaking the Word of God against those negative thoughts.
On the other hand, aside from God's voice bringing you peace, it stirs up faith in you. That joy you have when He reminds you of your God-given dream, and you jump out of your bed to write the inspiration he just dropped in your spirit at that moment. That spirit of possibility that comes upon you, brightens you up and sends joy into your heart. That is the voice of God. It brings faith not fear!
In MATTHEW 14, when Peter and the other disciples saw Jesus walking on water in the midst of a storm. Peter sought the voice of God, "If that's you tell me to come." And at the voice of Jesus, "Come", faith was delivered into his heart and he did what he would have never tried naturally; He stepped on water, moreso a raging body of water. He walked perhaps about half way until he looked away from the voice of God, that initial inspiration, Jesus. And then another voice began to speak to him - the voice of fear, and he began to sink.
Whenever you are in a situation that seems tough, unrelenting, strong, chaotic, any boisterous wind of some sort. Or it could be you trying to "crack the code" of your vision. And you hear the voice that builds your faith. That is your Kairos moment to "walk on water". That is your open door to step out a little much further out your comfort zone and take the leap of faith.
But do not forget; don't take your eyes from the One who told you "COME".
PHILIPPIANS 1:6 says, "Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
The Lord is our Helper!
