Do you think that some people, including me have feelings of doubt, because they don’t know God’s will?

[AnOrangeCat]

Jesus put down two simple commandments: To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors (meaning the rest of humanity) as ourselves. This really covers a lot of stuff from daily life. For other things like special projects and such? Pray about it, consider how well it lines up with the Bible, and seek guidance from other mature Christians but otherwise don't sweat it too much. If it's God's will for it to happen, it will happen.

Everything we, and all people, do here on this planet Earth is our God's will, through His Precious, 

Blessed Son Jesus. I hope it's alright to put some verses here.

2 Timothy 1:8, 9, 10 

[Sentinel]

I thought I'd put the above verses here, that way they can be read right away.

What I believe is Gods will is His word. I believe there are times He wants us to do something but in that moment there are no doubts about it. Then over time we can get off the path but.. I also believe a simple prayer "Father put me back on the right path in Jesus name" is that easy.  Granted we want to want that which could effect allot of things since we got off the path.. haha make sense?

Amen!

I have struggled over time with whether or not my life on earth has been something the Lord would say well done good and faithful servant. I honestly feel as though that is not the case…I have fallen far short of always walking in the Light I was given. This saddens me deeply and at times preoccupied me.

Since moving where we are now due to huge betrayal and damage, I have had the chance to minister to a man bitter and dying. He saw Christ in that. Recently, I found myself before the Lord confessing …..if that was the only reason for my time on this planet ‘in Christ’, it is enough for me and thanked Him for the opportunity and blessing.

Peace washed over me.

We all suffer doubt and sorrow. We have Romans 8:28.

I'm right there with you, brother. I was washed up and worthless, so when I ministered to one who was treated cruelly and believed all manner of horrible things about Christians and even our Lord Jesus Christ, they saw His love in me. 

I know what you mean by "bitter." Their bitterness didn't offend me though it was hard to bear, and I had to be subjected to scorn and ridicule for a while. The Lord reminded me of His love for them at all times, and it was so humbling that He chose a stupid man like me to carry out His will.

I join you in saying "Lord, if this was that purpose for which I was born, I shall praise Your name for as long as I have breath. You have honored me beyond measure."

Truly, until that moment I felt like I had failed the Lord over and over again. When the heart of the one I ministered to softened and they embraced me, I rejoiced at the goodness and mercy of the Lord. He is worth everything.

[Starise]

I don't need to know God's will. All I need to know is that God is God and He is in control.

Part of life's journey is to realize when our will is relegated to His will we will finally find peace and contentment.

PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Every time I look into the Holy Book I want to tremble (tremble)
Or when I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
(Temple)
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be

So, put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
She said, "there'll come a time when there'll probably be room in heaven"
But I'm feeling kinda guilty 'bout the number of times to do what we must do
Well you do what you must do
But we forget what he said, then we figure that he'll still make room

So, you gotta put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Everybody come along

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
(Who stilled the water)
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
(Who calmed the sea)
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.   Proverbs 3:5-6

How can you believe in some situations when you don’t know if you’re believing in His will or your will?

How often / intently do you read / study the Word of God?

First of all, seek the tutelage of the Holy Spirit who wrote the Bible to get God's version of the story.

All other versions are bogus.

By version I mean God's side of the story.

As far as Bible versions, whichever one speaks to you the most / the one you will stick with.

I prefer the KJV because I don't speak old English and so I have to dig more to understand.

Plus it is a very old version and well known / documented.

These scriptures will point you in the right direction to study the Bible:

2 Peter 1:20-21 / 2 Timothy 3:16-17

1 Thessalonians 5:21 / 1 John 4:1

Acts 17:11 / 2 Timothy 2:15

Proverbs 25:2 / Deuteronomy 29:29

Isaiah 28:9-13

Sometimes his rhema word is what is confusing.  He has a generalized word, but then he has a word for each individual that can be confusing.  Sometimes it seems the “Holy Spirit”, I call the Ruach seems slow to answer, and the flesh wants instant knowledge.  Life and the afterlife, meaning eternity, of course, are all a journey.  It’s a process.  Thanks for the verses.
