| That’s a good question! The way to get to know God’s
will is to speak God’s language and that’s what
prayer is. Whatever the works we say or think, God knows our
heart and he always answers in way that bring us peace and joy,
the signs of the Holy Spirit’s presence.
There
is no short answer to this question but there are some things
we can suggest. First is something called Examen
of Consciousness. It is a style of prayer that can help
you develop a greater awareness of God’s presence in
your life and also your own reactions to that present. The
article is a bit long but it will give you a good place to
start.
Ultimately
your goal is to discern what it is God is asking of you. It
is important to understand what the process of discernment
involves. It is not something you jump into. It is a serious
process, that requires discipline. We are happy to provide
you with some useful aids. |
