What Is God's Will for Me?

Every day, we have to make countless decisions. Many of them we make without thinking—but there are some big decisions in life that might make us stop and wonder, What does God want me to do here? Is there a way to understand what God's will is and how we can accomplish it?

A young adult in the United States wrote:

"I still feel like God hasn't answered me. My personal life is stuck in a rut and I can't get out of it. I've been praying and praying, but God is just not ready to answer me yet. I feel there is something more I need to learn before He will allow my life to move forward into the next phase. It is very frustrating, and it's times like this that I wish God would just send an angel with the answer, 'Jessica*, you need to...,' but it just doesn't happen that way." (*Not her real name.)

'Every Rain Drop Has a Meaning'

With the fall of every rain drop up from the clouds,
It rings the refreshing promise of renewance;
With the fall of every rain drop,
Gives us hope of life.
With the fall of every rain drop,
Washes away all impurities;
With the fall of every rain drop,
Displays the amazing laws of nature;
With the fall of every rain drop,
Shows the perfect coordination of matters.
With the fall of every rain drop,
Teaches us forgiveness;
With the fall of every rain drop,
Brings forth reconciliation.
With the fall of every rain drop...
With the fall of every rain drop;
Do you know who is behind this tiny drop of rain?
With the fall of every rain drop,
We are reminded of a Creator above all;
Watching and taking care of everyone of us.
