• Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
• Obey what you already know to be God’s Will through the scriptures.
• surround yourself with godly advisors.
• His plan for you will always be directly related to the gifts that He has bestowed upon you. The great news is that you will automatically be good at whatever it is that He has called you to do!
• take time to listen to what God might have to say [via ministers, scripture]
• He actually begins to shape your desires so that you desire the things that He has already called you to do.
• God often clearly demonstrates His plan for our lives by lining up circumstances in obvious ways. And He also shows us what His will is NOT for us to do in that same way.
