This is a great study if you have ever felt lost…Take time to do it…and if you like email me at adam@christintech.org so we can discuss it. Be Blessed
“God has a plan and that plan is good. Our question is, how do I access it?”

1. Think of a decision you have struggled over. What feelings were involved in trying to make the “right” decision?
Just down the hall from the chapel is a room uncluttered by televisions, stereos, and e-mail-infected computers. Envision a study with bookshelves lining the walls, a braided rug on the floor and an inviting fire in the hearth. In front of the fire are two high, wingback chairs, one for you and one for your Father. Your seat is empty, and your Father motions for you to join him. Come and sit and ask him whatever is on your heart. No question is too small, no riddle too simple. He has all the time in the world. Come and seek the will of God.
To pray, “Thy will be done” is to seek the heart of God. The word “will” means “strong desire.” The Study is where we learn what God desires. What is his heart? His passion? He wants you to know it.
Shall God hide from us what he is going to do? Apparently not, for he has gone to great lengths to reveal his will to us. Could he have done more than send his Son to lead us? Could he have done more than give his word to teach us? Could he have done more than orchestrate events to awaken us? Could he have done more than send his Holy Spirit to counsel us?
2. When did God reveal his will to you in a specific way?
3. Why does God’s will sometimes seem hidden?
