How to Know God's Will

Do you believe that discovering God's "perfect" plan for your life is about waiting for a sign in the sky? Do you worry that you will make the wrong decision and miss out on God’s will for your life?

As we continue in our How to Handle Life series, Pastor Shay Roush tackles one of the most common Christian questions: How do I know God's will for my life? Our modern life bombards us with endless choices (career, marriage, major life moves), often leaving us fearful we will miss God's "perfect" path. But over-analyzing every detail and possible option can keep us paralyzed with anxiety or regret.

Shay breaks down three biblical categories of God's will to help you understand what the Bible says about knowing God’s will: 

1. His will of decree—His sovereign plan that cannot be thwarted
2. His will of desire—His moral commands revealed in Scripture
3. His will of direction—the specific choices we agonize over (job, spouse)

The truth is that God does indeed have a plan, but he doesn't expect us to discover a hidden blueprint. Instead, he calls us to live by wisdom that is found through his revealed Word and in an ongoing relationship with him, not endless searching with a fear of missing out.

This episode offers practical steps you can take such as learning general biblical principles, getting wise counsel, praying for guidance, and then making a decision in faith. You will gain freedom from decision-making anxiety and walk away confident to make choices as you learn to trust him with your life.
