How do you figure out what God wants you to do?
I've struggled for years with this deep, gnawing need to figure out what I'm supposed to do with my life. I've experimented with many things, but never could figure out God's path for me. I've prayed and talked to people, and i never seem to get an answer.
I just feel, deep down to my bones, that there is something I'm supposed to do, something that will effect the world- I just don't know what it is, and I feel this sense of urgency about it. I've always love drawing plans for homes, planning things about homes, and helping people and animals. I've had many people say that I should start a charity..... is that an example of god seeking through people? I just don't know.how to even begin figuring out what I'm supposed to do. Help?

Jesus didn't say those teachings for nothing . You must make a sincere covenant with the Father that you will always obey all of Jesus' sayings ( greek text ) no matter what .

If you have a passion for something, such as helping people and animals, then you should go do it. Your passion may be from the Holy Spirit, though I cannot be certain as I am not you. You should pray while keeping in mind that you are willing to do God's will, no your will. If you feel that your heart is leading you somewhere, pray! Ask God if this is the way He wants you to go and if it isn't, ask Him to remove this desire. Pray for wisdom to discern God's will. :)

Well, for me it's always been a decision I have to make. I pray to God about the alternatives I have and the one that brings me peace I know is the one God wants me to follow.
That's my experience anyway.

To be honest, I don't care what some sky monkey wants me to do, I do what I want
and stuff God, he can like it or lump it. I am not a slave and I would rather burn in
Hell for eternity than kiss his backside for a moment.

People do whatever it is that they want to do.
And then find a way to claim that it was what God wanted.
