How do you know what god wants you to do?

Answer 1

God often directs us in several different ways. 1. Grace builds upon Nature. If a person is of the right age, has no spouse or dependent children, is not in significant debt, and is in very good health, then a vocation to the consecrated religious life may be possible. If a person has significant debt, is not in good health, or has other obligations, especially to young children, then it's not likely that God is calling that person to a consecrated religious life at this time. (Later perhaps.) If a person feels strongly drawn to marriage and having children and a family of one's own, that could be an indicator that God is not calling him or her to the consecrated religious life, but to married life instead. If a person is inclined toward visiting churches, participating in religious exercises, and finds themselves drawn to attending Holy Mass, studying Sacred Scripture, private prayer, meditation, and study of sacred subjects such as philosophy and theology, then God may be calling that person. If, on the other hand, the person doesn't like being in church, isn't much drawn to prayer, or study, or reflecting on the things of God, then this might signal that a call to the religious life isn't there. 2. Sometimes other people may suggest a religious vocation. A young person may be pondering whether they may have "the call", when several relatives, friends, and acquaintances happen to enthusiastically suggest the idea on their own. Sometimes God calls us through others. It is then up to the person himself or herself to prayerfully discern whether other conditions are present, such as those mentioned above and below, that, taken together with their friends' suggestions, might indicate a call to the religious life. 3. Anyone who thinks they may be discerning a possible call to the religious life would do well to confide in their parents as well as in the pastor of their church. Parents know their children well, and often will give good advice and feedback. A person's pastor has special grace from God to help members of the parish to correspond with God's call. Regular friendly and informal meetings and visits with the the pastor would be an excellent idea. 4. Last but not least, is to pray quietly in the silence of one's own heart, and there seek the will of God. It may require many hours of prayer over many months, but sooner or later, there will emerge a clear answer in one's heart.

you just know, there are signs everywhere you have to believe its all around us. Its such a warm and clam feeling. For those people that have had a near death experience you know what I'm talking about. There is a higher power out there. Some of us are gods chosen ones here on earth. Just let go and let god in and life becomes simple as waking up from grandmas house on a cold mourning and standing over the floor heater theres like 5 of you over it waiting for the pancakes to get done. It can' get more simpler then that.

The best thing to do when search for Gods plan in your life is to pray about it. Matthew 7:7-8 says, " Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh recieveth; and he that seeketh findeth: and him that knocketh it shall be opened." ask God he he will lead you.
