God's influence in my life
I was about to start writing about how, whilst I do feel God with me, I never really feel like God is guiding me to do something or like he is giving me guidance on what to do about my problems. I hear others talking about how God has guided them to do a certain thing or how he helped them about of a difficult situation by showing them the right thing to do.
I’ve never really felt that way if I’m honest. At times it does make me feel a little inadequate in a way or – when I’m completely at a loss – that God just doesn’t hold me to the same esteem as others, ridiculous I know. Nevertheless, despite my prayers and my hopes, I’ve never really felt that way.
Anyway, I did say ‘about to’… I was reading one of the recent blogs on the Revelife front page about gossip (http://www.revelife.com/revelife/691083701/what-to-do-when-youre-around-gossip/). I was thinking about how it’s particularly relevant to my life at the moment because I’ve been thinking about my gossiping a lot recently and how I’ve been trying to stop but somehow it just happens when I suddenly realised that this always happens to me.
Whenever I’m struggling with an issue – gossip, sinning, dating – an article seems to pop up on the Revelife front page that offers me guidance or helps me see what the right thing to do is. I’ve kinda decided that maybe that’s God way of helping me out. He knows I’m gonna read the blogs so he makes sure that the ones on there will help me.
You probably think I’m being ridiculous but I think this is God’s way of helping me out.What about you? How does God work in your life?

I think thats great!
for me it's usually through other people or a random "flip" in the bible, and of course my devo book (i alternate betwee the book and the bible, so =P)
I do not think you are ridiculous. God does speak through one's circumstances and situations. And, if you feel that His Spirit is moving you and after prudent discernment, you know that what it is moving you to do does not contradict His word, then you should listen to Him.
Hello Ms. Rosieanne,
You made your site simple yet elegant. I see that you would like to have God’s guidance. Now is a good time! I recommend the one true God, Jehovah.
I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Here is an important message for all of us from the Bible: 17 You make God tired with all your talk. "How do we tire him out?" you ask. By saying, "God loves sinners and sin alike. God loves all." And also by saying, "Judgment? God's too nice to judge." (Malachi 2:17) (Message Bible)
You know, I can relate to this a lot, I've been feeling that way about Revelife for a while...in fact lately when I feel I've been needing some sort of direction I've gotten into the habit of browsing around the blog just to see if anything comes up that's relevant to me at the moment, and usually it does happen.
