In this free little book, I give advice about how to decide what to do:

Naselli, Andrew David. God’s Will and Making Decisions. Field Guides. Kingsburg, CA: The Mentoring Project, 2025.

After disagreeing with what I call “the subjective view” of finding God’s will, I propose four diagnostic questions as a set of principles to help you decide what to do:

Holy Desire: What do you want to do?Open Door: What opportunities are open or closed?Wise Counsel: What do wise people who know you well and know the situation well advise you to do?Biblical Wisdom: What do you think you should do based on Bible-saturated wisdom?

Then I give five closing exhortations:

Don’t be anxious. Trust God.Don’t be sulky. Be holy and happy.Don’t be inflexible. Be willing to adjust your plans.Don’t overthink past decisions. Strain forward to what lies ahead.Don’t be cowardly. Be courageous.
