God is good ALL the time

Lately, the focus of my life has been really trying to figure out God's will for my life. This seems like something as Christians we always think we have the right to know. We're always praying, "Lord if it is Your will, do this or that" But we really should be praying with boldness and confidence because we often forget that anything that is in line with His nature is in accordance to His will. We don't need to wonder whether or not its in Gods will to grant us freedom from sin, joy, health, strong relationships, or a beautiful marriage because these things are encompassed in His character, that is what he wants for us. Ephesians 11-12 says, "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,  in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory." How do we not have faith that God's will is being done in our lives if we really know Him? If we are truly in communion with the Holy Spirit, than we don't have to worry about what God's will for our life is because it should already be in progress. Sometimes its harder than just praying for God's will to be done. Sometimes in order for His will to be done, our own will must be sacrificed. I think Paul said it perfectly in Galatians 2:20- "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Living through Christ is not only praying for His will to be done, but doing it. Its taking the will of God no matter what you're emotions and flesh tell you, and actually succumbing to it. Once you've done this, a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders, because you will be glorifying God, "who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will." We have such a great God that he has everything figured out for us, we just have to follow Him.
