If you put as much thought, prayer, and effort into your First Love as you do in your next love, you would be a totally different person. This goes for both girls and guys stop worrying so much about your next relationship. What can you do in this life that will better help you love God and love people?Īre you doing something about your calling now? What work doesn’t exhaust you, but rather exhilarates you?Īll these questions over time can narrow our calling, but the greatest question in the end is this.What would you do if money and connections weren’t a problem?.What frustrates you when you see it done poorly?.What abilities have people complimented you on?.What job would you take a drastic pay cut for?.What topics brings out your creative/entrepreneur side?. What problems in this world break your heart?.However, one of the most frequent questions we ask God is, “What is your will for my life?” I know many are still wrestling with God’s calling so I have listed questions that may help. So, to lack confidence in your calling is to lack confidence in God’s wisdom. It means God intends to do something special in you and through you, when you walk in your calling. If you know your calling but you’re not confident in it, you don’t fully understand calling.Ĭalling doesn’t mean you’re necessarily special. In Ephesians 4:1, Paul says, “Therefore I, a prisoner serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.”ĭo you know what God has called you to, and are you confident in your calling? We are scared to make mistakes, so we fret over figuring out God’s will….We forget that we were never promised a 20 year plan of action instead, God promises multiple times in Scripture never to leave or forsake us. To be honest, I believe part of the desire to “know God’s will for my life” is birthed in fear and results in paralysis. It is safer to commit to following him someday instead of this day. It’s much less demanding to think about God’s will for your future than it is to ask him what he wants you to do in the next 10 minutes. It is easy to use the phrase “God’s will for my life” as an excuse for inaction or even disobedience. In fact the decisions we make next year will be profoundly affected by the degree to which we submit to the Spirit right now, in today’s decisions. I think a lot of us need to forget about “God’s will for my life.” God cares more about our response to his Spirit’s leading today, in this moment, than about what we intend to do next year.
