You keep asking God for His plan. Why isn’t He telling you?

You’ve prayed about the decision. You’ve asked God what He wants you to do. Maybe you’ve even journaled about it more than once, but the pieces still aren’t coming together.

When that happens, it’s easy to wonder whether you’re missing His voice, or whether He’s answering you at all. But what if the uncertainty is actually part of how you and God are working out the answer together?

In this episode, Sara shares what she learned during a season when she needed God’s direction for her future but still had practical decisions to make about work, money, ministry, and where to live. She explains how God’s direction can become more clear as you gather the pieces you already have, talk through your options with Him, and allow experience to fill in what’s still missing.

You’ll also learn why asking for God’s plan can sometimes be connected to wanting reassurance that He sees and knows you. You'll see how Scripture, common sense and experience can help you discern what to do.

• Do I feel seen, known, and enjoyed by God right now?

• God, how do You feel about me right now? Here’s how I feel about You. What do You want me to know about Your heart?

• What is already obvious about this situation, even if I’m not sure it represents what God wants?

• What have other people recommended or pointed out that might give me more options, even if I don’t like their ideas?

• What biblical scenes or principles come to mind when I think about this situation, and what do they help me notice?

• What hangups or barriers might need to be overcome so the path forward becomes more clear?

• How do I feel? What does my gut say, and what does my heart desire?

• God, what do You want me to know about the thoughts and options in front of me?

• Does this thought sound like something the God of the Bible would say? Where do I see Him thinking this way, or not thinking this way, in Scripture?

If you keep asking God for the whole plan and still don’t have it, you may not be failing to hear Him. You may simply have more pieces to work out together.
