Timberline Church | Discerning the Will of God | Donny Abbott
Series: Timberline Church Fort Collins
May 24, 2026 | Donny Abbott
How do you discern the will of God in a world full of noise, uncertainty, and competing voices? Whether facing major life decisions or everyday choices, many people wrestle with wanting clarity while fearing they might miss God’s plan. Rather than treating God’s will like a hidden mystery to decode, we’re invited into a deeper relationship built on trust, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. Discernment grows as we learn to recognize God’s voice through His Word, wise counsel, prayer, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and even the circumstances of life.
God’s desire is not simply to hand out detailed instructions for every decision, but to shape people who walk closely with Him. Through prayer and surrender, our hearts become more aligned with His character and priorities. Even when the path forward feels unclear, God is not distant or indifferent—He is patient, present, and faithful to lead each step. True discernment is less about achieving perfect certainty and more about growing in trust as you faithfully follow Him.
