God leads us whether we realize that's what He's doing or not...alot of times we only think we are in control, but in actuality, we, by ourselves, could never make things work out in our lives so perfectly at times, quite the way He does. it's funny, if you look back and think of how far you've come, you realize all the decisions that went into getting you to a good place...sure, we have plenty of down times and situations but that's because we all have to go through them in order to achieve the destiny that God has divinely planned for us. I believe God speaks to us through thoughts and "hunches"...i figured that out about 8 months ago. i would ask God for guidance and was hoping i would get it in the form of a voice or an obvious sign of some sort like someone telling me, "God told me this..."...haha, not true. God's way of guiding me was with nagging thoughts. so nagging in fact, i couldn't sleep at night, and for the life of me, i couldn't figure out why i was having these thoughts about someone that i had not seen in months or talked to in even longer...someone i had no relation to or with in anyway. well, when i just continued to brush those thoughts away, God decided to put it in front of me. literally. while out of town, i ran into this person...of all people. and then i knew that God was the reason for all these nagging thoughts. and even though i ignored them, He still knew what was best for me.

remember, jsmooth, you cannot miss an opportunity that is yours by divine right. God's way will always win out.

Infinite and most Holy Spirit, open the way to the Divine Plan of jsmooth's life, that was planned for Him, under grace in perfect ways!

Jsmooth, many people want to know their destiny- and there is nothing wrong with that. The Bible tells us specificly how to learn it: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect"(Ro.12:2).
So, God's will is something that you find as you seek him diligently. Daily, the Holy Spirit will guide as you stay in the word and prayer; also, as you fellowship with other believers who have gifts from God to help minister to you. Those are the only you trust in knowing God's will. Do these things and keep growing; in time, you shall be more sure of God's will for your life.

God bless!
