I think one of the hardest things for me is to seek Gods will in everything I do. I am not talking about doing something that is bad or immoral, I am talking about something that is fundamentally good. Something can be good and moral and not be Gods will for me. I know that what God wills for me is what is best for me and that what I will for myself outside of Gods will may not be evil but isn't the best for me.
How do I know what is really Gods will and not just my wishful thinking? So far all I can say is prayer. I pray to Him to show me and then trust in Him that He will. Sometimes I think that what He wills me to do is to struggle and that I learn from the struggle.
Not living life blindly going from one perceived pleasure to another is a truly better way to live. To know that even when I do blunder God will make the best of it for me means that I don't have to live my life in fear of messing it up. If I do mess it up He will guide me back and help me to learn what I need to learn and give me joy again.
Still, it's hard. Is what I want today really what is best for me? If its a struggle is that because it isn't Gods will or is it a struggle because it is Gods will that I struggle and learn? No matter which, I know that he loves me.
