Losing sleep over God’s will

February 9, 2008 · 2 Comments

Have you ever had one of those nights when you lie in bed knowing that God wants to talk to you, or at least wanting to hear from God. There is no way on God’s green earth that your going to be able to sleep unless it happens?

Last night was one of those nights. There I am at thirty minutes after midnight tossing a turning with thoughts going through my head. Questions and comments like “I need to clean the house. What does God say about my life? I need to organize the house. What is God’s will in my life” dance in my head.

There’s a lot going through my mind to say the least and after cleaning a couple of drawers out I was able to sit down and actually read my bible. This is something I haven’t done in a while I must confess.

So now I’m stuck on the Lord’s prayer and God’s Will. I’m sure we have all prayed the prayer and know the scripture, especially if you have a Catholic background.

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hollow is thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven

How am I suppose to do God’s will on earth if I don’t know what it is? I know that Jesus taught, healed the sick, fed the hungry, showed brotherly love, was a servant at times of his life and even after death.

I have to admit that people who are trying to teach online do not make it easy to find out wha the will of God is. Perhaps that’s the point, that we don’t know what God’s will is. As long as we love God with our heart, mind, and spirit then His will will be done in our lives.

Any thoughts?

Now the rest of the day is probably going to be spent looking for work, cleaning house, and studying the bible. I did get a word this morning and the words that were heard is “How can God bless your family if your house is unorganized?” That touched me in so many different ways.
