Finding Direction

One of the most difficult things about faith to me is knowing how to hear from God when I am at a crossroads in my life. The Bible tells us to seek the Lord and He will give us the desires of our hearts. It also says that when we knock, the door shall be opened to us. So why is it so difficult to trust in God when we can't clearly see which path to take? I suspect it has to do with my need to control things. I want God to tell me what to do in order to get what I want, how and when I want it. And that is NOT the same thing as trusting in Him! Trusting in Him means praying, seeking, listening, and being still. It means having peace when things don't go how I want them to because I completely trust that God knows what is best for my life. It's turning everything over to Him and saying, God, THY will be done. Are you struggling to find direction today? Seek Him with all your heart and be prepared to submit to His will for your life, knowing that He has so much more planned for you than you could ever dream or imagine!

Psalm 25:4-5 - "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."
