How do you know you are fulfilling God's will for your life?

Whereever I am, as long as I am keeping the commandments, I am fulfilling God’s will for my life.

I am at a point where I am at my whit’s end. I have tried and tried to discern his call for my life. All I know is that I am getting older and older, Days are getting drier and drier. I am at the point that God needs to tell me in laymen’s terms. I am tired of these games. I say “maybe God wants me to be a priest” no “maybe God wants me to be a music director or musician for my parish” nope “maybe God wants me to have a family and” nope not so far . I have to talk to the vocations director in St Louis. I am so gun shy that I have put it off for a while. I am literally affraid to call him, I am tired of being rejected. There comes a time in your life where you finally say screw it. I give up. Some people say that is when God has you where he wants you. Broke ready to listen. Well I am at the point I want him to directly tell me what he has planned for me and I am not taking no for an answer. Forgive me it just has been a real bad week and today is the worse of it. Scoob.

I can relate just a bit to what you are going through. Sometimes it’s not only the young that have problems discerning God’s direction for them. My husband and I own a business that we have loved doing but has not been doing well as of late. I am wondering if God is trying to push us in another direction. A friend and I have always joked that it sure would be nice if God would just tell us in no uncertain terms; “this is what I want you to do” There are times that I actually don’t want to have this thing called “free will.” But that’s not how He works. I think if you will just talk to Him and put it in his hands to direct you, and as others have said, serve Him first in all things that you do now, you will find your path. My prayers are with you, pray for me as well
