Title: God's Will for me Post by: growinginGrace on November 19, 2004, 05:32:26 PM Hi,
Can anyone here tell me how to know what the Lord's will could be concerning a certain issue in my life? I am going through a confusing time right now and would like to find what His will for me is. I am currently going to school to get my degree but it is putting a lot of stress on me and I keep running into problems which has me wondering if maybe this isn't what the Lord wants me to do. I don't want to make a mistake and give up if in fact this is the Lord's will for my life but if it isn't, I don't want to be out of His will. I am thinking of taking a job where my wife works at for the insurance and the good pay. It would mean droping out of school and missing getting my degree but right now I would be content doing anything as long I was in God's will. Everyone puts such a big deal about getting a good education which is well and good but I believe having a right relationship with God and being in His will is more important.

Life decisions like this and wanting to be in Gods will are sometimes very difficult to know or discern. In my experience, when life decisions like this come up (that are not obvious)....through prayer, God will usually open or close doors in the decision process. I will prayerfully check the open doors and ask Him if this one is not His will, to close it, and open the door that leads to it. Place God first in the process and follow His lead. With the faith you have expressed in your post, I have no doubt that God will lead you into His will for your life.
If you don't mind me asking, what is the degree in that you are currently studying for? Grace and Peace! Title: Re:God's Will for me Post by: growinginGrace on November 20, 2004, 07:32:23 PM Hi Tim, :)
