A lot of times we focus on certain points, or decisions in our lives, and don't look at it through God's eyes; which would be looking at the bigger plan, instead of focusing on just one moment in our lives. We ask questions like: Does God want me to take this job offer? Does God want me to go to this school? Does God want me to go into religious life, or Marry? We want to know God's will for our lives, but we often only ask the small questions, and we forget about the real reason we are here on this earth. God's will is that we have access to him through Jesus, be transformed as a result of that and be sent out to others to tell them about the one who changed our lives. He wants us to share in his divine life, which is the only end worth having. He wants us to share his truth and his joy with everyone. Joy is one of the most important gifts of the Holy Spirit, and God wants us to share his truth and joy with the whole world.
Here is "Thy Will" by Hilary Scott:
Dear God,
Give us Your Holy Spirit, to live in us forever, and bless us with eternal life.
Let Your Holy Spirit Testify through us and speak the Truth through us.
Let Your Holy Spirit Love through us, a unselfish Holy Love; so that we lay down all worldly ambitions, give up our wills, and do Your Holy Will.
Take our thoughts away from making money.
Keep our thoughts on doing Your Holy will, not on seeking worldly material things, or vain worldly status. Let Your Holy Spirit give us our one desire and one purpose, To do Your Holy Will.
And remind us that life is about loving others, and being loved by you.
