How do I know Gods will for my life?
Rev. Dr. Rock Schuler: The best way to know Gods will for your life is to ask god what his will is and then listen to him, listen quietly, listen in times of prayer, listen to what other people are saying to you, listen to the coincidences that come together in your life. One archbishop of Canterbury said during the time of World War II that he was surprised how much more coincidences happened in his life when he was praying. By that he meant that coincidences lineup to show us the path that God would have us take. Saint Augustine before he was baptized was trying to figure out what God wanted him to do with his life and he chose a time-honored method. He ask God to reveal his will for him in the Bible and then he picked up the Bible, opened it up, put his finger on a passage and it was about holy Baptism. He probably had himself baptized and became one of the greatest theologian and bishop in the life of the church.
Often times, God will honor our prayers in direct ways like that, but sometime its more subtle; a lot of the time its more subtle. In those times, we should checkout with spiritually mature Christians, with spiritual guides, with people that we trust. What God might be calling us to do? We should checkout our feelings and thoughts with those people and we find that when our feelings, when our rational thoughts, when our emotions, when the advice of other people, when the word that were discerning out of the Bible and in other spiritual sources when those things come together then we begin to see and understand what Gods will is for a particular moment in our life.
