Asking the Question: “What is the Will of God?”

Blog---will-of-God

When I became a Christian at nineteen years old, I wondered at the idea of God’s will for my life. I was a sophomore in college, and it felt like one wrong choice could derail my future. In my prayers, I would ask the LORD, “What does it mean to ‘do’ or to ‘live’ according to Your will?”

My ideas of God’s will for my life were somewhat confused. I grew up watching movies and reading books that used terms like “fate” and “destiny” to describe the trajectory of human life and actions. So, I wondered, “Is God’s will just a Christian term for ‘fate’? Is everything about my life predetermined, such that I have no personal will or influence?” On the other hand, the greatest heroes talk of making their destiny, rising from the ashes to battle their way to eternal glory. So then, perhaps humans carve our destiny by acting boldly and taking action. But where does that leave God?

Part 1: Helping Your Children Reach Their Full Potential

Writing as one who has faced many challenges in life: low self-esteem, being bullied, sometimes being the bully, succumbing to peer pressure, and the uncertainty of not knowing what “I want to become when I grow up,” I am certain that I would not have achieved confidence and success in life without the support of my family and the unending humbling from God’s grace. 

The constant motivating force in my life really boils down to how God has been in control every step of the way. It is my desire to share what I’ve learned as the second of four children in order to shed some light on how children might be guided to grow up to be proud of who they are.
