Sometimes you need help to recognize God

You have a restlessness that won't go away: a desire to change something, an idea that keeps coming back, a question about what God wants from you. And you don't really know what it is. Is it God? Is it what you want? Is it fear? Wanting to figure it out alone is normal, but it's hard. Nobody sees themselves clearly, just as you can't see your own back. That's why it helps so much to talk it over with someone you trust who knows God and knows you. Asking for advice doesn't take away your freedom. The decision is still yours, but you reach it with more light. Often, just by saying it out loud, you start to understand it yourself.
