We've all had times when we struggled to know God's will. How can we grow in our understanding of God's will for our lives? In this message, Tiffany Nunnally continues the series about the Lord’s prayer and shares about the next line: "Your will be done." 

In order to say “Your will be done," we also must say "my will be gone.”
Ephesians 5:17 “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” 
You can know the will of God!
How is it in heaven? Rev. 21:4 “no more death, sorrow, crying or pain”
 
God’s general will for everyone is found in the written word of God.
“How can you know what the will of God is when you don’t know what the word of God says?” - Derek Prince
 
God’s specific will for you is found in the spoken word of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9-12 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”10 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
 
How to grow in knowing God’s will:
1. Trust that you have the mind of Christ
1 Corinthians 2:16 
Part of spiritual maturity is trusting that when your mind and thoughts are renewed you don’t need to pray about every little thing because His spirit guides you. 
 
2. Stop worrying. 
James 1:6-8 “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose he will receive anything from the Lord. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” 
Overanalyzing is not a fruit of the spirit. God’s will is NOT for you to be paralyzed with indecision.  Indecision leads to ineffectiveness. 

3. Take action.
Give God your action - step on the gas and ask God to steer you. “Even God can’t steer a parked car.”
Matt. 25:23 “you have been faithful with a small amount, so now I will make you ruler over more (give you more responsibilities).” 
Have you done the last thing God told you to do? 
 
4. Stay close to the Father
Colossians 3:15 “let the peace of God rule in your hearts”
God’s presence clarifies His will. You will know the specific will of God when you embrace a walk with God. 
“Don’t make knowing the will of God your goal, make knowing the person of God your goal”

When you pray, are you asking that God’s will be done?
