Back to the Finding of God's Will...

Something that has not been mentioned yet that absolutely must be.

PRAY.

In all that you do in life pray. Without prayer you cannot and will not hear the voice of God. He wants to speak to you. He is speaking to you. You just need to listen. Sometimes that means listening in silence, sometimes kneeling, shouting, praying, fasting, reading His Word, talking to trusted peers, conversations with mentors, reading other books.

If you currently are not hearing from God on something - do this. Change it up. Do something you don't normally do. If there is something on the list I just mentioned that is not something you regularly do, then do it. Pray longer...pray shorter. Sit in silence.

One thing a mentor of mine told me to do once that revolutionized my prayer time for that week was to do nothing but thank God (unless something really, really huge came up.) That was a good week. Don't ask God for anything like we usually do, just thank Him for giving us what he already has.

Change it up, listen, and you will hear.For of you praying about something, I'll be praying for you this week. Feel free to comment your prayer so I, and others, can pray specifically for you. (I would suggest using some discretion in commenting certain things however.)
