I struggled with the concept of "finding" God's will quite a bit through my teens and early twenties, perhaps because that's such a time for making decisions...how freeing it is to simply pray and move ahead with SOMETHING, trusting that our sovereign God will work it out.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-21222935628831747632014-08-04T14:34:21.090-04:002014-08-04T14:34:21.090-04:00This was so good.

Great reminder & sorting out an incorrect teaching. It is important to know that "getting ahead of God" is impossible. We can be disobedient, unfaithful, sinful, impatient, and stray from Truth but it is never possible to get in front of God. <br /><br /> He has not left us without a clear plan so you can never go wrong by focusing on how to glorify God and continual prayer. The other issues in life that you may seek an answer for will be answered as you continue to seek God and glorify Him. <br /><br /> Take comfort in knowing that God is always ahead of us.

A balancing act to be sure - especially during this time of seeking God's plan during this new season of life.

God can change hearts and minds quickly if he desires. I often persevere in prayer even after I feel the door is shut.<br /><br />I used to worry, though, that I would somehow mess up God's plans for me. I have had to learn to trust God in those times. God doesn't ask us to figure out his will in advance, just to trust him.Staci Eastinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107996901556804274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-42873105820103635682014-08-04T07:41:17.448-04:002014-08-04T07:41:17.448-04:00This may sound like dumb question, but (given one ...This may sound like dumb question, but (given one is not acting in disobedience to Scripture) how does one differentiate between God closing a door and the need to wait and persevere in prayer?
