It’s easy to hear God’s will, to learn His will, and even to share His will, but the challenge is in following God’s ways in all areas of our life — and to even know what His will is for our life. Listen to this conversation that takes you through some definitions of the meaning of ‘will’, where the struggle is to find and follow Him, a few examples of how God reveals His will, and some practical tips to walk in His will for you and your family. The conversation also touches on the challenges of following God’s will, the importance of transformation, and practical steps to align with His purpose. Personal testimonies and encouragement are shared to inspire listeners in their faith journey.
Learn some of the key scriptures to walk in God’s way from Romans 12:2, Proverbs 3:5-6, Micah 6:8, and Colossians 1:9-10.
Talking Points
What do we mean by “God’s will”?
- His sovereign will (what He has ordained/can’t be changed)
- His moral/revealed will (what He calls us to do according to Scripture)
- His personal or specific will for us, for our children (how those apply to our lives day by day)
- God’s will is always consistent with His Word and His character
Why It Might Be A Struggle to Find It
- Fear of making the wrong choice.
- Wanting control or instant clarity.
- Confusion between emotions, desires, and divine direction.
- The noise of the world drowning out the Spirit’s still small voice.
Ways God Reveals His Will
- Through Scripture: His Word gives us principles for godly living.
- Through Prayer: Aligns our hearts with His, not bending His will to ours.
- Through the Holy Spirit: Inner conviction, peace, or prompting.
- Through Godly Counsel: Wise believers can affirm or challenge what we sense.
- Through Circumstances: Doors opening or closing (though we should interpret them carefully.)
How to Walk in God’s Will Daily
- Start with what’s clear: obey what you already know from Scripture.
- Trust that God leads step by step, not always miles ahead.
- Cultivate a heart of surrender (God directs humble hearts.)
- Stay anchored in truth. Wisdom flows from abiding in Christ, not chasing signs.
