We should always try to discern what the Lord wills. The process of a sincere seeking of the will of God in serious life decisions is painful but what we do according to the will of God remains forever! We need to carry His cross, to accept the cross of uncertainty, seeking and powerlessness. Such are the ways of God – it is dying in practice. But it is worth it! Life is too short and we can do nothing more than seek and do His holy will.

The Lord directs our paths, and we must often walk by faith which is both the light and darkness for us, like the pillar of fire and cloud which led the Israelites on their way through the desert. Though many things are obscure to us, God sees and understands everything. Our task is just to seek His will and to ask Him for the strength to make our steps in faith and to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not depend on our own understanding (Pro 3:3-5).
