The Will of God

"How I ascertain the will of God: I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of it's own in regard to a given matter....Having surrendered my own will, I do not leave the result to feeling or simply impressions...I see the will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with the Word of God...Next I take into account providential circumstances. These often plainly indicate God's will in connection with His Word and Spirit. I ask God in prayer to reveal His will to me aright. Thus, through prayer to God, the study of His Word, and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgement, and if my mind is thus at peace, and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly." - George Muller
