things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

0:17.2

You know, I pray for people all the time and they want to know the will of God for their life.

0:21.6

You know, they're really looking to find their assignments from God and I think that's a good

0:27.0

prayer to pray because that means God is drawing you and he's working with you and he wants you

0:32.2

to follow him. You know, we all want to know the will of God for our life. God, what's my assignment?

0:38.8

But can I tell you this? God is already laid out your assignment for you. He's laid it out. He's

2:06.8

You know, those are nice things. And I think sometimes which are good deeds and they are good works
