Learning from Steve 2: Knowing God’s Will, episode 115
How often do you wonder what God’s will is for you in a certain opportunity or decision? Pretty often I imagine. And when it comes to your prodigal, do you desperately ask God what you should do?
Today Steve Douglass will share (from an article he wrote) some helpful steps as you seek to know what God wants you to do in any situation.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000
If you have a prodigal, you can discover both help and hope for your wilderness journey right here at when you love a prodigal.
2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And also help and hope for your own life journey.
3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So I told you last week that I was going to dedicate this month to my late husband who went to heaven a year ago.
4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And so I'm sharing with you some things about the way he lived his life and cared for people and walked with God that I hope will encourage you in your own walk with God.
5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And especially in your relationship with your love prodigal or prodigals.
6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This one's a little more specific.
7
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
This is how to know God's will.
8
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And so Steve was really good at that.
9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And he shares some very simple but very practical steps to help you on major decisions and even minor ones.
10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
No God's will.
11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Now how often have you wondered what God's will is for you in a certain opportunity or decision that you need to make?
12
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Pretty often I imagine.
13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And when it comes to your prodigal, do you desperately ask God, what should I do?
14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I've certainly done that many times.
15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Today I know you will want to write down some action steps to discern God's will in small decisions and big decisions.
16
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
This is something my husband wrote.
17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And so I'm just going to share it as he wrote it.
18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Other than maybe I interject something occasionally.
19
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
It's written in his first person.
20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
If it sounds a little strange that way, but it's very simple and compact.
21
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So it's not a long thing that you have to learn.
22
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
It's some simple steps.
23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Steve wrote in an article I wrote about knowing God's will.
24
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I mentioned an opportunity God gave me to help a Christian woman discover God's will for her life.
25
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Many people have asked me what I said to her.
26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And so here is the process that I took her through.
27
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The first step is the most important probably that's walk.
28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
That is walk with God closely and continually.
29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
So one is walk.
30
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
This helps assure that we listen to God's thoughts, not ours.
31
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
This allows us to receive ongoing and progressive leading from God.
32
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
God's plans for us don't usually become clear and complete all at once.
33
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
And so we need to be walking with him to discern what they are.
34
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:24,000
This qualifies us also to receive God's opportunities and blessings from 2 Chronicles 16 9.
35
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So first walk.
36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Second, ask.
37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Pray specifically for God to reveal his will.
38
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:42,000
We are promised in James 1 5 that if we ask for wisdom, God will give it to us generously.
39
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Yeah, he's done that for me many times.
40
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Steve says years ago, God gave me a sense that I needed to become much more effective in doing evangelism,
41
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and sharing my faith in Christ with others.
42
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
When I prayed that he would show me how he brought me to tremendous learning opportunities.
43
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
At the time I was responsible for overall operations in CRU,
44
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:26,000
so I might not have recognized the evangelistic opportunities as strategic if I had not prayed for and received a sense of God's will and plan for me.
45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
So walk, then ask, and then pause.
46
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Consider the third step.
47
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Consider three factors.
48
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Passions, strengths, and opportunities.
49
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I have usually found I can see why God has a certain direction for me in light of these three things.
50
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Passion is talking about what I am already motivated to do.
51
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
You might say something you really care about or wish you could help in.
52
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Passion.
53
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Strengths.
54
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Where do I have competencies which can be utilized well?
55
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
What are you good at?
56
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
What are you not good at?
57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So probably not that.
58
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Three opportunities.
59
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Which doors has God seemed to open for me at this time to do something in this area?
60
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:37,000
God showed me, Steve writes, how the plan to be more effective in evangelism represented a confluence of all three of these.
61
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I had the passion to see more people know Christ.
62
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:52,000
God gave me a strength in teaching which could help make coming to Christ clearer and more compelling to people.
63
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And God led a group of students at the International School of Theology to invite me to a certain opportunity of teaching on personal development as a bridge to presenting the gospel.
64
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Passion, strength, and opportunity came together as a powerful confirmation of God's plan for me to become more effective in evangelism.
65
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And it worked as it led to a seminar and a book on how to get better grades and have more fun that have gone all over the world.
66
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
So you walk, you ask, you consider, and then you plan your first steps.
67
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Plan first steps.
68
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:56,000
One barrier to pursuing God's plan for us is that we tend to dream and wish, but often we don't plan specifically and practically.
69
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000
My fairly consistent experience is that I must be proactive in order to pursue God's plan.
70
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000
He directs my thoughts and desires, but I have to cooperate with plans and action.
71
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000
In addition, I must find practical ways to start to take the first step or two.
72
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Determining long term direction is very important, yet a crystal clear vision often unfolds over time.
73
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
So you plan some steps to take.
74
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Then there is a wonderful fifth.
75
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
He writes, start, then evaluate.
76
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:50,000
The likelihood of making good long term progress is usually directly proportional to how soon we take the first steps.
77
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
If we start putting them off, we will find ways to continue putting them off.
78
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I wonder how many New Year's resolutions succumb to procrastination.
79
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:14,000
After starting, I evaluate my progress and ask God for more refinement on what I initially sensed, he said.
80
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
So again, walk with God.
81
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Ask him for wisdom.
82
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Consider the three factors of passion, strength, and opportunities as I discern what God is leading me to.
83
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Plan for first steps.
84
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Start, actually take those steps and evaluate.
85
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Then he goes on, how did I lead the woman on the plane through this process?
86
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:57,000
First, we discussed how to convert her occasional visit with God prayer life into a constant conversation.
87
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
That's one, your walk with God.
88
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Second, we prayed God would give her a clear picture of his plan.
89
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Asking him for wisdom.
90
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Third, we sought to discern her core motivation.
91
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
What are the things she cares about?
92
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
What are the things that she could do?
93
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Putting that together.
94
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Then we explore her strengths.
95
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
What is she good at?
96
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
What are the things that she could do well?
97
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And finally, we listed and prioritized the opportunities that God had already given her.
98
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Although it took some thinking, we quickly saw how God had equipped her to pursue what he had put on her heart.
99
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Fourth, we got very specific in planning things she could do next week to get started.
100
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:07,000
In the past, I asked her to commit to me, he says, that she would do something on this the next day and to evaluate and make adjustments in light of that evaluation.
101
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
I hope this process is useful to you in helping people know what God wants them to do.
102
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:29,000
I hope it's helpful to you in helping you know what God wants you to do in any situation, in any opportunity, but especially with your loved one, with your prodigal.
103
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:39,000
How can you apply this understanding of learning to do God's will in the ways that you relate to your prodigal?
104
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Think right now.
105
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:50,000
What is the decision you need to make a step you need to take, especially with your loved wanderer?
106
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
I'd love it if you wrote it down.
107
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Are you walking with God?
108
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Have you asked God what he wants you to do?
109
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Have you asked him for wisdom?
110
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Have you thought about what matters to you, what you know how to do, and a good opportunity to take the first step?
111
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Then plan, do it, and evaluate it.
112
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:30,000
If you're like I was in the long hard days with our prodigal, I was always asking God for help, for wisdom, for discernment, for courage to take needed steps.
113
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Sometimes he directed me to take some really hard steps.
114
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Other times he really guided me to shower grace and mercy on our prodigal, even as God had done for me.
115
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Sometimes he said I just needed to soften my voice and not talk harshly to my loved one.
116
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:08,000
It can vary. You don't know where God's going to take you, but if you ask him for wisdom, he will show you and give you strength and courage to do what he's shown you,
117
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:18,000
which will be a good, positive step for restoring or refreshing your relationship with your prodigal.
118
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
How might you apply the steps Steve has suggested?
119
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:31,000
The walk, ask, consider, plan, start, evaluate for your life and with your prodigal.
120
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:45,000
In the show notes, I'm going to show you, have listed some links to more of Steve's resources, and these will provide more help for you that I think will be a blessing.
121
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And while you're there, you could subscribe to the podcast and even review it.
122
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000
You know, I'd love you to say, this has been so helpful to me with our life, with our prodigal, whatever God leads you to do.
123
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And I pray for you that you will be able to really engage well with God and seek his wisdom and plan for how to bring healing, restoration, new life and hope, whatever it is needed in your relationship with that one you love so much.
124
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
God bless you.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000
If you have a prodigal, you can discover both help and hope for your wilderness journey right here at when you love a prodigal.
2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And also help and hope for your own life journey.
3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So I told you last week that I was going to dedicate this month to my late husband who went to heaven a year ago.
4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And so I'm sharing with you some things about the way he lived his life and cared for people and walked with God that I hope will encourage you in your own walk with God.
5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And especially in your relationship with your love prodigal or prodigals.
6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This one's a little more specific.
7
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
This is how to know God's will.
8
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And so Steve was really good at that.
9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And he shares some very simple but very practical steps to help you on major decisions and even minor ones.
10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
No God's will.
11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Now how often have you wondered what God's will is for you in a certain opportunity or decision that you need to make?
12
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Pretty often I imagine.
13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And when it comes to your prodigal, do you desperately ask God, what should I do?
14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I've certainly done that many times.
15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Today I know you will want to write down some action steps to discern God's will in small decisions and big decisions.
16
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
This is something my husband wrote.
17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And so I'm just going to share it as he wrote it.
18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Other than maybe I interject something occasionally.
19
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
It's written in his first person.
20
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
If it sounds a little strange that way, but it's very simple and compact.
21
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So it's not a long thing that you have to learn.
22
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
It's some simple steps.
23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Steve wrote in an article I wrote about knowing God's will.
24
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I mentioned an opportunity God gave me to help a Christian woman discover God's will for her life.
25
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Many people have asked me what I said to her.
26
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And so here is the process that I took her through.
27
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The first step is the most important probably that's walk.
28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
That is walk with God closely and continually.
29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
So one is walk.
30
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
This helps assure that we listen to God's thoughts, not ours.
31
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
This allows us to receive ongoing and progressive leading from God.
32
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
God's plans for us don't usually become clear and complete all at once.
33
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
And so we need to be walking with him to discern what they are.
34
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:24,000
This qualifies us also to receive God's opportunities and blessings from 2 Chronicles 16 9.
35
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So first walk.
36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Second, ask.
37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Pray specifically for God to reveal his will.
38
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:42,000
We are promised in James 1 5 that if we ask for wisdom, God will give it to us generously.
39
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Yeah, he's done that for me many times.
40
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Steve says years ago, God gave me a sense that I needed to become much more effective in doing evangelism,
41
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and sharing my faith in Christ with others.
42
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
When I prayed that he would show me how he brought me to tremendous learning opportunities.
43
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
At the time I was responsible for overall operations in CRU,
44
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:26,000
so I might not have recognized the evangelistic opportunities as strategic if I had not prayed for and received a sense of God's will and plan for me.
45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
So walk, then ask, and then pause.
46
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Consider the third step.
47
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Consider three factors.
48
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Passions, strengths, and opportunities.
49
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I have usually found I can see why God has a certain direction for me in light of these three things.
50
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Passion is talking about what I am already motivated to do.
51
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
You might say something you really care about or wish you could help in.
52
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Passion.
53
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Strengths.
54
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Where do I have competencies which can be utilized well?
55
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
What are you good at?
56
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
What are you not good at?
57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So probably not that.
58
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Three opportunities.
59
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Which doors has God seemed to open for me at this time to do something in this area?
60
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:37,000
God showed me, Steve writes, how the plan to be more effective in evangelism represented a confluence of all three of these.
61
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I had the passion to see more people know Christ.
62
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:52,000
God gave me a strength in teaching which could help make coming to Christ clearer and more compelling to people.
63
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And God led a group of students at the International School of Theology to invite me to a certain opportunity of teaching on personal development as a bridge to presenting the gospel.
64
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Passion, strength, and opportunity came together as a powerful confirmation of God's plan for me to become more effective in evangelism.
65
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And it worked as it led to a seminar and a book on how to get better grades and have more fun that have gone all over the world.
66
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
So you walk, you ask, you consider, and then you plan your first steps.
67
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Plan first steps.
68
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:56,000
One barrier to pursuing God's plan for us is that we tend to dream and wish, but often we don't plan specifically and practically.
69
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000
My fairly consistent experience is that I must be proactive in order to pursue God's plan.
70
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000
He directs my thoughts and desires, but I have to cooperate with plans and action.
71
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000
In addition, I must find practical ways to start to take the first step or two.
72
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Determining long term direction is very important, yet a crystal clear vision often unfolds over time.
73
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
So you plan some steps to take.
74
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Then there is a wonderful fifth.
75
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
He writes, start, then evaluate.
76
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:50,000
The likelihood of making good long term progress is usually directly proportional to how soon we take the first steps.
77
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
If we start putting them off, we will find ways to continue putting them off.
78
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I wonder how many New Year's resolutions succumb to procrastination.
79
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:14,000
After starting, I evaluate my progress and ask God for more refinement on what I initially sensed, he said.
80
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
So again, walk with God.
81
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Ask him for wisdom.
82
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Consider the three factors of passion, strength, and opportunities as I discern what God is leading me to.
83
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Plan for first steps.
84
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Start, actually take those steps and evaluate.
85
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Then he goes on, how did I lead the woman on the plane through this process?
86
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:57,000
First, we discussed how to convert her occasional visit with God prayer life into a constant conversation.
87
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
That's one, your walk with God.
88
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Second, we prayed God would give her a clear picture of his plan.
89
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Asking him for wisdom.
90
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Third, we sought to discern her core motivation.
91
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
What are the things she cares about?
92
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
What are the things that she could do?
93
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Putting that together.
94
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Then we explore her strengths.
95
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
What is she good at?
96
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
What are the things that she could do well?
97
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And finally, we listed and prioritized the opportunities that God had already given her.
98
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Although it took some thinking, we quickly saw how God had equipped her to pursue what he had put on her heart.
99
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Fourth, we got very specific in planning things she could do next week to get started.
100
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:07,000
In the past, I asked her to commit to me, he says, that she would do something on this the next day and to evaluate and make adjustments in light of that evaluation.
101
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
I hope this process is useful to you in helping people know what God wants them to do.
102
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:29,000
I hope it's helpful to you in helping you know what God wants you to do in any situation, in any opportunity, but especially with your loved one, with your prodigal.
103
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:39,000
How can you apply this understanding of learning to do God's will in the ways that you relate to your prodigal?
104
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Think right now.
105
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:50,000
What is the decision you need to make a step you need to take, especially with your loved wanderer?
106
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
I'd love it if you wrote it down.
107
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Are you walking with God?
108
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Have you asked God what he wants you to do?
109
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Have you asked him for wisdom?
110
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Have you thought about what matters to you, what you know how to do, and a good opportunity to take the first step?
111
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Then plan, do it, and evaluate it.
112
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:30,000
If you're like I was in the long hard days with our prodigal, I was always asking God for help, for wisdom, for discernment, for courage to take needed steps.
113
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Sometimes he directed me to take some really hard steps.
114
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Other times he really guided me to shower grace and mercy on our prodigal, even as God had done for me.
115
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Sometimes he said I just needed to soften my voice and not talk harshly to my loved one.
116
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:08,000
It can vary. You don't know where God's going to take you, but if you ask him for wisdom, he will show you and give you strength and courage to do what he's shown you,
117
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:18,000
which will be a good, positive step for restoring or refreshing your relationship with your prodigal.
118
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
How might you apply the steps Steve has suggested?
119
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:31,000
The walk, ask, consider, plan, start, evaluate for your life and with your prodigal.
120
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:45,000
In the show notes, I'm going to show you, have listed some links to more of Steve's resources, and these will provide more help for you that I think will be a blessing.
121
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And while you're there, you could subscribe to the podcast and even review it.
122
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000
You know, I'd love you to say, this has been so helpful to me with our life, with our prodigal, whatever God leads you to do.
123
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And I pray for you that you will be able to really engage well with God and seek his wisdom and plan for how to bring healing, restoration, new life and hope, whatever it is needed in your relationship with that one you love so much.
124
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
God bless you.
