God's Will

To be honest with you, today I am having a really hard time. This summer has been a summer where my faith has been tested and deepened. I have come to a crossroads where I have to make definite plans for the future. What do you do when you're sure God has you on a path and you are convicted of it, but then you are filled with complete doubt that the plan you have put into motion is the right one. You take outside advice, you cry out to Jesus, you look to the Word, but still in your Spirit you have that nagging doubt no matter the path, that thing that won't let you go.

I often wonder what happens when we are so confused that we make wrong turns in God's will, even the big stuff? When there is no peace no matter how we consider each option?? I want nothing more that to be in His will, but if I chose the wrong path in uncertainty, will God bless my mess? 

You may think that the fact that you're having doubts about a decision is reason enough, but is it really that simple?  What about all the "What ifs" that plague your mind, isn't that's Satan's job to confuse?

Do I stay and dig ditches or move on to what is seemingly a much harder path? How do you have confidence in either path if there is this much doubt on one?

Let's remember what we know:

We have a God that loves us unconditionally, so much so that He will correct our paths with great mercy and grace.

There is power in surrender.

I also know this, that if I am struggling, God is working and if God is working this out in me, He is most assuredly working this out for someone else.  Praying for those who are struggling with me today that you step boldly into this next step.
