Knowing that God wants to lead you in your life which statement do you most identify or struggle with? 

 

  • You don’t need to do anything extraordinary, let the opportunities present themselves. Let God lead, don’t force things. Be prayerfully alert as you go about your days. 
  • Don’t know how to do your vocation for God’s glory. Ask him what that means - and spend some time listening.  (more than minutes, this could take days or weeks etc.)   
  • Feeling alone and overwhelmed - find a space and seek God. Worship him, declare your trust, surrender to his leading, receive his grace and allow his restorative presence to work in your soul. 

1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1, Colossians 3:17
