Listening To and Obeying Gods Word

There are many aspects of my life I have been having trouble with lately, particularly the challenges of the ones I love. Multiple members of my family are going through rough times right now and am trying to remain supportive of them while dealing with my own challenges. Following Gods path for me has been the key. I have been praying to God about those paths and if the choices I make are right. God always provides an answer for my questions in various ways. The most common way I hear Gods answer is through feeling. It helps me personally to ask very specific questions with a yes or no answer and wait for His word. Despite the fact that God always answers my prayers, His answers are not always what I want to hear. Just because you place your life in Gods hands does not mean He is going to give you what you want. Gods gifts to us are holy gifts, not business arrangements! We must listen to Gods answers no matter how much we want something to work out a certain way. If you place your life in His hands he will take care of you on HIS time line and ways, not yours. It is difficult at times but I have learned to listen to him and place my trust in God. So with that I am off to follow His path.
