God's will needs to be the number one priority in all our lives. We can't let the spirit of God be clouded up with emotions. If we do, we will sooner or later find ourselves in a place where God wouldn't have us to be in. It might not necessarily be sin, but its not the 100% will of God and that's what matters. When we become adults in Christ, we began to realize that we are nothing without God, and all we are called to do is to love, and serve God. We need to be empty vessels, waiting for God to fill us, and wanting nothing more than truth to reign in our lives. When you are a adult in Christ, you see things only in black and white, and feel things in black and white. There is a truth, and there is a perversion of truth and it causes us to remove ourselves from the will of God. God's will is greater than ours and he is a good God. His way is better than our way and we have to have faith that we will be happier, and better off on the path God has set for us and not doing our will but his will 100% all the time.
My prayer is for God to peel back any layers of confusion. I pray that the very core of me would be what God would have me to be, and that it would be at the surface of me all the time. I want truth to reign in my life. Not just for personal and spiritual gain, but more for other people's benefits, and because it is simply pleasing to God. All that we are has to be for his kingdom's cause, and for the benefits of others through God's Holy Spirit. We have to stay be humble and put what we want, and our very life, last all the time.
-Trust in God in all our ways, and he will direct our footsteps.
God bless, Chad

Amen. Like 5 times. All we can do is praise God, because His will is perfect. Everything else (emotion, confusion, basically anything of the human flesh) is a pseudo and faulty. Praise God for clarification. Praise God for understanding. Praise God for 100% truth instead of the shadows this world and the human heart offers. We have to stand on what God has for us, for he leads only into green pastures.
God Bless. Carmen.
Amen Chad.
All things do work together for good for them that love God and are called according to His purpose. Sometimes things can be very unpleasant, even painful. Painful to the point that those around you, who love you, are heartsick also. But those who remain faithful will reap a reward because they have sown in righteousness.
Mark 10: 29And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
No one with a right heart does anything to receive a reward, but God will supply all your needs, and give you the desires of your heart, if we don't faint and pull back. God's promise to you, and all who are faithful. Trust God. Every good and perfect gift is from God, in His perfect timing. In our patience we possess our souls.

Amen, Chad.
God's will be done in all of us, all of the time.
To live is Christ. And when you cause yourself to be dead to the things of this world (even if they are own desires) is gain. God is looking for people just like you who love truth more than their own desires.
Be strong by His Spirit. Be determined to know only Christ and Him crucified. Keep your eyes fixed on the things of above that you would never be tempted to look to the left or to the right. God is with you, Chad. Be mindful of Him and call upon Him while He is near.
He knows what we have need of before we even ask.
God bless,
Ryan
Amen Chad. So true, we don't live for ourselves.
Here's a little encouragement.
Proverbs 16:20 -
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
God bless,
Rachel
God love you Chad, and may you have the desire of your heart, thank you for sharing.
