 Knowing God's Will Prayer

Wondering what the will of God is for your life? Do you know somebody who is walking around aimless not perceiving the will of God for their life? God created every person with a purpose to serve for His glory. However, we cannot understand that purpose until we truly seek Him as Lord in every area of our life. When we surrender ALL of our "rights" to obedience of His Word, we shall find the purpose He called us to according to His glory!!! We should also pray the Holy Spirit open and closes doors to us as He wills (Acts 16: 6-13).

Scriptures to pray for the person:
