Re: How do you know the Lord's leading?
Hi Trapped,
What do you “want” to do? If you want to take a trip, for example, maybe He wants to take that trip.
Many times, when the situation is as you describe, I literally “take a step” in the direction I prefer. Not very spiritual. At the same time, my prayer is, “Lord, I don’t know what to do. I want to follow you. If you want to change my path, I will change with you, but for now, this is all I know to do.”
You might call it a leap of faith...or just one step. Make a decision, take a step, then trust He is guiding you. My prayer in the last year of change for me has been “Lord I will do whatever you want me to do.”
You asked for experience. This is mine. This is what I have practiced for many years, and I’m still here. Take one step, followed by another...and yes, sometimes a “backwards” step, but always a walk. The Christian “life” is a “walk”. Trying to “figure out” what to do didn’t work for me. Walking always works. I think that’s even Scriptural.
Hope this helps.
