It's not anything that's a sin though so if you had that on your mind don't worry Sure, okay no problem. I really didn't think it sinful when seeking the Lord for something. God bless you.

For example, at a time when violence was rampant in ancient Israel, God directed his prophet Isaiah to tell the people: “Although you offer many prayers, I am not listening; your hands are filled with blood.” (Isaiah 1:15) Clearly, those who show contempt for God’s laws or pray with improper motives cannot expect to be heard by God.—Proverbs 28:9; James 4:3. On the other hand, the Bible states: “No matter what we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14) Does that mean, though, that God will automatically grant his worshippers every request? Not necessarily. Consider the case of the apostle Paul, who begged God three times to remove “a thorn in the flesh.” (2 Corinthians 12:7, 8) It may be that Paul suffered from a chronic eye affliction. How frustrating that must have been for him! Paul had been given the gift of healing and had even performed a resurrection, yet he had to endure his own illness. (Acts 19:11, 12; 20:9, 10) Even though the answer to his petitions did not take the form he wanted, Paul accepted God’s response with gratitude.—2 Corinthians 12:9, 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately told him that God was happy for him to do that if it was what he wanted to do. Psalms 21:2 - You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withholden the request of his lips.

Judges 6. Oh Lord how about two out of three? Ah make it four of seven, or five of nine. Why not see if what you think you are being led into or what you want to do, matches up with the written word of God, for He may have answered your question long ago. And it may have been never never ever. Why do you even ask since I have already spoken and it is written. Doubt is a good thing to have if it makes one read search think and pray. But don't be casting fleeces and then saying to God lets make it two out of three okay? I asked God for confirmation in multiple ways but i am still unsure, i want to do this out of the spirit and not the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having no idea what "it" is I can't help at all, other than to suggest making sure that "it" is not already covered in the word of God the Bible. As for myself, I know when things are of God and when they are simply of me. As long as they are legal and socially moral I do both what I am led to do, and what I think up of my own accord. Regarding major items; I seek the prayer and counsel of others that have some expertise in the area of interest, or I seek the edification from another saint In Christ Jesus. I talk with my Elder, or a person I trust to have excellent Bible knowledge, and have confidence in . For me that is often my wife. Example from personal history is to be led to contributing to something, I have my wife set the amount. I don't look at it at all. I just give thanks to God and my wife and send it on. I have been led to move my entire family and not known why, but I moved my entire family, and learned the why of it later. As for you I have no idea what will work to bring confidence to you that what you think YOU desire is led by God. Sorry, can't help. But if requested I will join with others in praying that you will be properly led. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
