Seeking God's Will

I have been learning through experience that if you truly want to live out God’s will He will show you the way. I’ve done some self examining and learned that when I was praying for God to show me the way, I was actually asking for Him to open a door for me to follow my own desires. I found I tried to sell my desires to God. Lord, give me this gift. It will bring you glory in this way... Perhaps that sounds silly to you or maybe you have also done the same thing.
All I know is that when my heart began changing, I actually began wanting GOD’S WILL. I stopped justifying and worrying. I stopped putting so much emphasis on pros and cons and I started praying and searching scripture. When your heart’s desires are after God, He will reveal His will. Guess what, it’s wonderful! There is peace and joy in your heart when you are following Him which is far more valuable than anything I can come up with on my own.

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalm 37:4
