I just found a whole bunch of quotes on finding God's will for our lives...

Maybe it is no coincidence I stumbled both on these and your post.... 

 

 

A BELIEF THAT GOD ACTS with purpose in this world must lead to attempts, however feeble, to discern how my own actions might be attuned to God's one action.


William Barry in Presence

 

 

YOUR PROFESSION is not what brings home your weekly paycheck; your profession is what you're put here on earth to do—with such passion and such intensity it becomes a spiritual calling.


Vincent van Gogh, quoted in Edward C. Sellner, Mentoring

 

CIRCUMSTANCE and coincidence may cause us to be in the right place at the right time to do God's work in a specific way.


Suzanne Farnham, Listening Hearts

 

THE FACT THAT I THINK that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.


Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude

 

OUR ONLY TASK is to seek willingness. This radical willingness will, if we are faithful to it, shatter every idea we have about ourselves; about our inner growth and transformation; about living a Christian life; about contemplation and our relationship to the world; about God.


Maggie Ross, The Fountain and the Furnace

 

IN HIS WILL is our peace.


Dante, The Divine Comedy: Paradise
