In service to my coaching clients, I am exploring how to determine God’s will for your life. With seemingly perfect timing, I recently received a “decision checklist” bookmark from TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) about just that subject. What they offer is such a quick and easy read that I pass it along below.
I encourage you meditate on what may be revealed for you through these questions and scriptures. Perhaps journaling about each question may bring clarity of thought. Or it may help to take a prayer walk in a quiet place to see what may come up for you along the way.
Pray, search the Word, and seek godly counsel.

- Do I have a prophetic word?
