Paul Miller: “The great struggle of my life is not trying to discern God’s will; it is trying to discern and then disown my own. Once I see that, then prayer flows.”
The bible contains God's will for your life.
God's will is that you love Him more than life itself.
God's will is that you listen to Him more than your emotions.
God's will is that you trust Him with your "trash" and pain more than your perception.
God's will is that you love the people in your house not just on a mission trip.
God' s will is that you honor your parents especially when you do know you are right.
God's will is that you remember that you are not God. You did not create the universe.
God's will is that you learn more about Him by obeying Him.
God's will is that you seek to deny your self, take up your cross and follow Him every day and not just on Sunday.
God's will is declared and demostrated in the work, life, and words of Jesus Christ. Follow Jesus on His twitter page the Bible!!!!
My problem is not that I do not know the will of God is that I am in love with my own will.
