But trust him, keep seeking to do his will, know that the tough stuff will not last, and that even this period of existential angst is being used by God. Picture him before the potter's wheel, forming and shaping you for purposes you cannot yet see.

I graduated from high school and began college still with no clear direction. I was a math major because that was my best subject. However, I was still seeking the Lord with all my heart for His perfect will for my life. In the middle of my first year of college, I came across Romans 12:1-2, which says,
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Within sixty days, I was led to make radical decisions that set my life on a course that has brought me to where I am today. Everything God has done in my life over the last forty-five years began with me seeking Him to know His will for my life. This is the starting line.
I pray the Lord reveals His will to you and how to accomplish it in a greater way than He ever has before. Together, as each of us does what He instructs us to do, we will make a big difference in this world.
Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Accordingly, we have updated our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions in order to comply with GDPR.
My friend Alex is dying from brain cancer. He has received twice the recommended dosage of radiation, and his brain tumor continues to grow. In fact, the amount of radiation to his brain has caused serious paralysis to his right side. There are no more medical treatments available. Without a miracle, Alex will not make it to his 40th birthday.
Scripture gives us many clear examples of God revealing His will to people such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Gideon, and many others. Henry Blackaby has written that with all these examples, the pattern was the same. 1) He came to them; 2) He revealed His planned activity; 3) They believed Him and adjusted their lives to Him; 4) they obeyed Him; and 5) They experienced God doing His will through them. God still comes to us and speaks to us through prayer and through His Word, and enables us to adjust our lives to Him and see His will lived out in us.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is eternally good to us. As we seek to know His will, let us first seek to know Him deeply, and in knowing Him, our lives will naturally bend in the direction of His will.
The film you are about to see was made 33 years ago, and has never been widely released. The sound for the film was stolen. The police were no help. I cut the film silent, reading lips, and then looped the film in its entirety. The looped film was accepted by the London Film Festival and the Munich Film Festival, where it garnered good reviews. They were accustomed to looped films. Not so back in America, where only a tiny distribution company was willing to take a gamble on a looped film. And so the film went un-viewed-- until now. It is my hope that the looping will prove a marvel, not a detriment, and add to your enjoyment.
I was asked recently about the 11th step: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God praying only for knowledge of God\u2019s will for us, and the power to carry that out. And all I could think about was how, as I age, prayer has become altogether and at the same t\u2026
A vocation is something that we receive from God; he is the one who calls us. He may not call us in the way that he called Moses, by appearing in a burning bush and giving a specific set of marching orders. Instead, he usually calls us inwardly and by means of giving us the gifts and talents and aspirations that we have. His invisible sovereign will is certainly working in the background to prepare us for useful tasks in his vineyard.
I went through a period in my life of being unemployed for six months. During that time I had five different job offers in five different cities in the United States. Five different friends came to me and said out of sincerity and urgent zeal that they were sure God wanted me to take each of the particular jobs. This meant that if all five of them had a direct pipeline to the will of God, God wanted me to hold five full-time positions and live in five different cities in the United States at the same time. I explained to my friends that I knew I was iniquitous (full of sin) but had not yet discovered the gift of being ubiquitous (being everywhere at the same time). I simply could not possibly do all five jobs. Somebody was wrong in his estimation of the will of God for my life.
How will our job decisions be conducive to fulfilling our other responsibilities? The person who chooses a vocation purely on the basis of money or location or status is virtually guaranteeing his later frustration.
So, you made a poor choice just like lots of other people. You eternal kingdom is your real home. This life is temporary. Accept this mistake and rest assured that you will make more before life is finished.
We know that we are saved by grace through faith and not by the works that we do. Becoming a Christ-follower is not dependent on a disciplined will. But there is a distinction between becoming a Christian and becoming a Christian who has heroic character.
But a person who has never thought about the will and about ideas presenting themselves and about making deliberate choices between those ideas will struggle. That person will be carried along by selfish appetites and desires and end up relinquishing control to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.
Charlotte explained that encumbrance that can weigh down a weak-willed person who has by grace started to follow Christ, and she encouraged us to do all we can to help our children avoid that more difficult path.
"Pursuing God's Will Together is a much-needed corrective to our headstrong individualism today. It drills down deep into rock-bed practicalities for any community seeking to discern the will of God together. I recommend it highly."
"Fabulous! I look forward to giving copies to our staff and elders. Ruth provides a practical, powerful road map so we can discern the most important question as a leadership team: What is God's will for us on a particular issue?"
"I have been grateful for Ruth Haley Barton's wisdom in the past on spiritual disciplines so crucial for the soul of a leader. I am sure her latest work will be of great benefit to those who seek the grace of discernment in their work and ministries."
"Ruth Haley Barton knows only too well that discerning God's will requires a personal commitment to transformation as well as an openness to engage in a group process. In Pursuing God's Will Together, she shows us in a systematic way how it's done. Every Christian leader will benefit from such a practical approach to such an ancient practice."
Can God speak his will for your life through art? John Wesley sought to hear from God while sitting before this window at Lincoln College, Oxford. Photo by Kathleen Barry, United Methodist Communications.
John Wesley believed there was "no other way of knowing God's will but by consulting [one's] own reason, and [one's] friends, and by observing the order of God's providence" (as quoted by Richard Heitzenrater in Wesley and the People Called Methodists). So, that is exactly what Wesley did. He thought deeply about it. He consulted friends. He sought God's will.
If Wesley's opportunity to preach in the faraway land of America was similar to Jonah's, that would mean accepting the offer to pastor St. Andrew's was a step away from God. Then again, God might want him to go to Epworth to pastor, and the trip to Georgia might literally be a boat sailing in the opposite direction. What was God's will?
We too face decisions with no clear answer. The best we can do is seek God's will using every means at our disposal. Then we can take comfort in knowing that God is with us and will work his will in either good choice we make.
One of my more enjoyable summer memories will be the morning I had a theological discussion with my daughter, Emory. She was asking about God's will, particularly the question about how he can decree certain awful things to happen when it is clearly against his revealed will in the Bible for men to do these very things.
Think of the cross for instance. God clearly detests murder and deplored the unjust taking of his Son's life. Yet he also clearly ordained it, for as Peter preached at Pentecost, "this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men" (Acts 2:23). The question is raised, "How can God not will murder but then have it as his will for Jesus to be murdered?"
Though I knew of a good article here discussing this problem of the "two wills of God," or could have sent her to R.C. Sproul to have it taught, I gave her what first helped me with this matter. I plopped _Calvin's Institutes _into her hands (Or did I send her an online link? My memory is not that good.) and encouraged her to read chapter 18 of Book One.
