How to Determine God's Will (Part 2)
God's will for your life and mine is to pretty much do what we want to do. I realize there are some exceptions to this, but God gives us a whole lot of freedom in our life. It's not like we have to pray about every decision that we make. If you love God and apply some basic filters do your life... you don't have to stress about everything!
That being said, here are some basic filters:
1) God's Laws - If Scripture clearly states God's standard on something, we don't need to pray about it or wonder whether or not it's God's will. For example, don't kill... don't steal... and don't read Twilight books are all examples of God's laws 
2) God's Principles - If Scripture is unclear on something, it's best to filter your decision through what you know about God. Is the decision your making going to oppose God's character? How about His love or His grace? If so, don't do it.
3) God's Wisdom - This is a great filter! Based on your past experiences, current circumstances and future hopes and dreams... what is the wise thing to do?
