Guided

Why would you walk in your own strength when you could ride with the Spirit?

A lot of people get frustrated and just give up on the whole idea of finding God's will. But here's why you shouldn't: God has His best in mind for you.

We need to remember that just because something doesn't make sense to us or it's not the way we would do it, doesn't mean that it is wrong...especially when it comes to God. We don't have to understand, we just have to trust.

Following Jesus isn't about taking all the right steps to get to Heaven; it's a process of knowing Him, having Him shape you and make you more whole as a citizen of His Kingdom, and walking with Him through this great adventure.

Rest in the assurance that if it is to be, it isn't up to me. It's up to God. I give what I can give. And then wait for Him to give what only He can give. So, if He makes it happen without all my chaotic self-effort, then I know it is His best...And if it doesn't happen, I will praise Him for saving me from myself.

Not knowing God's will for a situation can be a good thing because that's how God often chooses to draw us into a closer relationship with Him. If you knew the direction you were supposed to go, you could just say, "Thanks God. See You later!" There's something about the praying and searching process that develops a bond between you and God that you can't get any other way.

What's so amazing about this process is that in the searching and seeking you don't just end up with guidance, you end up knowing the Guide. And that's the point.

Keep the faith,
