People pay millions to doctors, therapists, financial advisers, fitness gurus, and the like to know the way to take in hopes of creating for themselves a more perfect life.

We chase peace where lasting peace can never be found.

What’s more, many anxiously try to control what ultimately cannot be controlled, instead of submitting to the One who is working all things together for good to those who love Him and are called to His purpose (Rom 8:28).

God tells us how we can know this purpose, this will of God —

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.”(Rom 12:2)

We can know the way to take. We can know the way that defeats anxiety and brings peace. We can find purpose and satisfaction if we endeavor to not be conformed to this world but to renew our minds daily.

How? Pray. Read the Word. Apply it to your life by daily endeavoring to more closely align your way with His.

It’s there that we will find the good, acceptable, perfect will of God.

It is there you can, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths”.(Prov 3:5-6)

Does it mean life will be easy?
No, and just before Jesus went to the cross He said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

In seeking God through the things He has told us in His Word, we will have peace and we can take heart, even and especially when life gets hard, because He (the one we are endeavoring to follow ) has overcome the world!

And that’s no small thing for this day and every day we will ever live!

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.”(Rom 12:2)
