How to Find out and Know the will of God for your Life

Sripture:_ Romans 12:2 (NIV) - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

_Devotional:_

Have you ever wondered what God's will is for your life? Maybe you're facing a difficult decision, and you're not sure which path to take. Or perhaps you're feeling stuck, and you're not sure what God wants you to do next.

The good news is that God wants us to know His will, and He has given us some clear principles to follow. In Romans 12:2, the apostle Paul writes that we can find out God's will by being transformed by the renewing of our minds.

So how can we find out God's will for our lives?

1. _Seek God's presence_: Before we can find out God's will, we need to seek His presence. Take time to quiet your mind, focus on God's Word, and listen for His voice.

2. _Study God's Word_: God's Word is our guide for life, and it contains many principles and promises that can help us discern God's will. Take time to study the Bible, and ask God to give you wisdom and understanding.

3. _Listen for God's voice_: God often speaks to us through our thoughts, emotions, and circumstances. Take time to listen for God's voice, and ask Him to give you clarity and direction.

4. _Seek godly counsel_: God has placed people in our lives who can offer us wisdom and guidance. Don't be afraid to seek godly counsel from people you trust.

5. _Trust God's sovereignty_: Ultimately, God's will is not always easy to understand. But we can trust that He is sovereign, and that He is working everything out for our good.

_Prayer:_

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today seeking Your will for my life. Help me to seek Your presence, study Your Word, listen for Your voice, seek godly counsel, and trust Your sovereignty. Give me clarity and direction, and help me to follow Your will. Amen.
