"Lord, what do You want me to do?" Acts 9:6 NKJV
Paul's life changed forever when he asked the question, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" Note how God answered his question: "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do" (v. 6 NKJV). Discovering God's will takes place in steps. Step one is awareness. You cannot change direction of you're unaware you're unaware your healed in the wrong direction. so spend some time thinking about where you're presently headed. If it's not where you need to go, then write down the steps you must take to go where you want to go, to accomplish what you want to accomplish. Make them as concrete as you possibly can. Will they absolutely be the right steps? Maybe they will, maybe they won't. But you can't know for sure until you start moving forward. Step two is action. You can't win if you don't begin! Take initiative. Do something specific each day that will move you one step closer to your goal. Then, continue todo it every day. Step three is accountability. Few things will inspire you to see your goals through like accountability. One way you can do that is to share your goals. When you tell people what you plan to do, you feel pressure to keep working at it. Give those people permission to ask you about your progress. It's like giving yourself a deadline so that you keep moving toward it. Writing things down gives you another form of accountability. Do you want to so God's will? Then start with these steps.
