Jeremiah and Jesus are pretty clear about God's will for them, but it can be harder for us to figure that out. How do we discern God's call for us, and what do we do when other people in our lives feel the need to weigh in?

For Reflection:

• As you’ve tried to seek out God’s will, what has been helpful for you?

• Have you ever had a sense of certainty about your call? When all you can get to is “pretty sure,” what do you do with that?

• Have you ever had the experience of other people weighing in your decisions or the direction you’d like to take with your life? What’s that like? How do you sift out other people’s thoughts, opinions and expectations of you as you seek God’s will for yourself?

• Is God calling you to anything now? How is God present with you in this moment? Maybe take a little time to talk with God.
