Let’s Talk About It – What Is God’s Will For My Life?
36 minutes Posted Aug 30, 2026 at 4:55 pm.
NLT  //  Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass ...
//  Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
NLT  //  God’s will is for you to be holy…
NLT  //  You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial.
//  For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
//  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

How do I know God’s will for my life?
I feel stuck in a major life decision.
I don’t know what to do next.
If you get to know God’s heart, you’ll get to know His will.
God’s Sovereign Will
God’s Revealed Will
God’s Permissive Will
God’s Personal Will
God’s Sovereign Will: God’s unstoppable, unchangeable plan that directs all things toward His purpose
Isaiah
Proverbs
God’s Revealed Will: timeless truths revealed in His Word for how we live
1 Thessalonians
Hagios: set apart, different, sacred, dedicated to God
You can’t walk in God’s will if you’re disobeying His Word.
God’s Permissive Will: the freedom God gives us to make choices, even when they’re not perfect
1 Corinthians
God’s Personal Will: God’s unique, specific calling for you
Ephesians
We are saved FROM and FOR
Psalm
We overcomplicate God’s will and underestimate God’s goodness.
How do we discover God’s personal will?
Affinity: What breaks your heart?
Ability: What has God made you naturally good at, or what have others affirmed as your strengths?
Opportunity: What doors have already been opened for you, and where is the greatest need that you can help address?
We trust God’s sovereign will.
We obey God’s revealed will.
We accept God’s permissive will.
We walk in God’s personal will.
