Wrestling with God...

Why is it that when I pray for God to make thinks extremely clear to me, mostly because of my inability to stay focused on His will, He allows me to begin pursuing something only to give me this gut-wrenching feeling that I'm chasing after selfish dreams? Why am I so incredibly thick headed at times and able to wreak total havoc when I am suppose to be simply relying on God for what I need each day? Of course as I'm wrestling with God this morning and praying about His will, I begin to read in Galatians. Verse ten hit me in the face: "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-slave of Christ." Am I striving to meet the approval and expectations of others? Am I avoiding doing what I know is right to avoid disappointing someone? Am I seeking God's will and ways to bring glory to Him? Do I consider myself a bond-slave of Christ? Those are all very good questions...
