Seeking God's Will

I shared the following piece, God's Will?, with some friends and it brought up lots of discussion. It would be great to hear how you relate too.

God’s Will?

So many hopes…so many dreams…
So many wants…so many needs
One real desire, one real goal
When will I ever reach it?
Lord, only You truly know.
Learning how to let go yet hold on so fast
‘Where does God’s Will come in?’ is what I often ask
Am I setting the agenda or is God my Ruling Planner
As long as I’m achieving His purposes, does it really matter?
Of course…It must…He has to ultimately lead
In order for Him to get the glory and for my efforts to succeed.

But what of “Write the vision—be sure to make it plain”
Then asking Him to do it totally in His name?
Or saying “Lord, bless me indeed! Enlarge my territory!
Make mine a marvelous story but Father God take all the glory!”
Tell me, when is it appropriate to say to God today:
“Oh Lord, go with me now. Dear Lord, You just lead the way
Father, I will not go lest you go before me in this”
Then wait patiently for Him until He appears in my midst

The Word says to commit my ways to Him, trust Him and He will bring it to past
That when I delight myself in Him, my heart’s desires will come and last
That everything I do in life ought to be done unto the Lord
And truly I know He has honored many faithful ones before
So now I lift up all my dreams—all I have asked of Him
As if I were submitting a proposal of how I’d like to live
Oh Lord, please take a look, review it, and have favor on me
But let Your will be done, for it is greater than what I can see.
