Dear God,
I am trying but this does not make sense! I want to hear Your; conform to Your will, but this does not make any sense to me. I need to know that I am walking in Your will.“
Are you feeling out of control in God’s will for your life? What happens when you feel this type of anxiety? Have this been this way in the past? Recognize, you can feel out of control when you are trying to do God’s will in your life. First, BREATHE! Take a deep breath and let’s talk it out.
Remember Who You Are in God’s Will for Your Life
God’s will for your life is a purposeful one. You are an incredible person who God loves. John Wesley (1703-1791), the founder of the Methodist church wrote,
“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
Yes! Servant leaders are incredible people. The fact that you are given an assignment to serve, that means that God knows that you have the compassion and sensitivity to do so. But being a servant of God means that you do not control your schedule. God interrupts our plans (Proverbs 16:9). It is ok to ask yourself, “Am I trying to do the will of God or am I trying to make God conform to my will?
Conforming to the Will of God
Humankind has a natural tendency to want to control their situations. But God is in control (Romans 8:28). Servant leader, God will work out situations for your good. Remember that having freewill means, we have the ability to make choices between good and evil. As a servant of God, a new person, you have the Holy Spirit living within you as your Guide. Your freewill is not taken away when you come to Christ. Instead, the Holy Spirit is available to aid you in your decision-making process.
Experiencing Interruptions in God’s Will for Your Life
Servants of God will experience interruptions in their tasks. If you do not experience these interruptions in your divine appointments, then you can be sure that you are not working for God. When you are working for God, the enemy comes to try to kill, steal and destroy your assignments (John 10:10). But you are a winner. Therefore, relax. God will help you get through the tasks (Jerimiah 29:11). Working for Jehovah God makes you a winner. Your experiences in this manner, will be opportunities to share with unbelievers and believers. You become a witness that God did this.
