How Do We Find God's Plan For Our LIfe? You Are Living It Now.

"God has placed you where you're at in this very moment for a reason, remember that and trust He is working everything out!" Unknown

 Maybe wherever it is that you are in your life today, is not where you want to be. Yes you are happy, yes you are enjoying every moment that God gives you, but you can't help but wonder what is around the corner, we want to know what we should be doing, where we should go, and what's next. But listen my friend; you don't have to know all of that, at least right now.
 You see, no matter where it is that you are today, that is exactly where God has you to be. You see, we get so frustrated and impatient when it comes to praying to God for guidance because we want Him to show us where to go in our lives, we want Him to lead us in the direction that He has for us, but when we don't hear an answer on our timeline, that is when we get frustrated. And yes, I know that it can be hard; but what we need to do is to trust in His plan for our life, we need to give up control, we need to trust His timing, pray, and listen.
 You see, we need to trust His plan for our life, we need to rest in the fact that He has laid it all out before us, that He has anointed us with a purpose and a plan before we were even born, so we need to believe and trust that He is going to bring this plan to pass. Another thing that we need to do is give up control. We need to stop acting like we know when and where it is that God is going to lead us. We need to stop making plans for our own life, and instead, give it all up to God, and know that His plan, His timing, and all that He has in store is so much greater than anything that we could ever do ourselves. Next, is we have to trust His timing. We have to know that God doesn't work on our timeline. He has the perfect time for each and every answered prayer, and even though we may not think that we are hearing answers fast enough, we have to know that God has an amazing reason for making us wait, and when we look back in the future, we are going to be so thankful that it did not happen when we thought it should. Last, but certainly not least, is that we that we need to pray and listen. Yes, we need to ask God for things and we need to make our one-on-one time with Him, but we also have to make sure that we are listening to what He has to say in response. We have to know that we can't just talk to Him, but in fact, we need spend some time being silent, listening for what it is that we are asking for.
 So today, just know that right now, God has you exactly where He wants you to be, and if you take these steps, He is going to take you, in His timing, to where it is that He has you to go.
