How do we ask God for direction in our lives? I have always done it by asking God in faith for obvious signs. For example: Should I talk to x Person? If so, make it easy, provide an opportunity for me to talk to them without me going out of my way. If we don't cross paths by accident I wasn't meant to talk to them. I got this from the old testament where that old dude had a son and he chose his sons wife by going to a well and asking God to reveal plainly who would be his sons bride by having her offer water to him and his camel. What I do isn't quite as extreme, but I have complete faith that if I were to ever ask God in faith for something like this he would deliver. It has happened to me before. Short testimony: When I was an atheist I asked God to show me somehow that he was real. Two days later, I was walking home from school and I seen a homeless man sitting on the side of the road. Back then, I purposely avoided sketchy looking people so I was gonna cross the road to avoid him, but this time I thought that I shouldn't be so judgmental so I passed him. As soon as I passed him I felt his hand on my shoulder and I turned and he goes "God wants to see you in his kingdom of heaven" He turned back around and walked away without another word. There are a few details that are remarkable about this homeless man, but I wont share that here. I believe this was an angel sent by God to me to let me know "hey God is certainly real". I know that not everyone gets these kinds of things from God. I have heard people saying they want to give up because they have asked him if he is real many times with no response. How do we deal with that? The only thing I can think is that I prayed and I was expecting an answer. Almost like I already knew he was real. What do you guys make of this way of asking God For direction? Does it align with your beliefs and practices? I haven't done this for a while. I really should though cause I need a lot of direction recently. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, God bless!
