    About this ebook

    When Sarah Cunningham was in her twenties, she was ready to change the world, full of energy, passionate about her work, and really, unstoppable. Or so she thought. But in trying to change the world, we all encounter opposition—people who don’t understand our cause, problems that we can’t solve, frustration we don’t know how to handle.

    Eventually, the passion we once had starts to burn out. And so do we.

    Sarah, still trying to change the world in her thirties, has encountered the burnout that comes with great dreams. But she also knows that burnout can be overcome. As a friend and experienced advisor, Sarah talks through 14 truths (pulled from her book The Well-Balanced World Changer) that will help us get beyond burnout and back to a place where we can pursue our dreams in a healthy way.

    Moody Collective Portions are short pieces of content taken from our full-length books. Our goal is to introduce our readers to a complete idea in a brief, concise, and inexpensive format. Most portions will take about 20 minutes to read.

      WE DON’T HAVE TO FIND GOD’S WILL FOR OUR LIVES

      GOD’S WILL IS KNOWN

      All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

      —GANDALF THE GREY

      We have to find God’s will for our lives.

      We just have to!

      … Or do we?

      No, I’m not dismissing the importance of seeking to understand God and live out his principles. No question, God designed life to include certain outcomes. To be productive, for instance, to build families,¹ to experience life to the full.² Those are all givens in my book. Probably in yours too.

      What I’m really asking is, what does will finding look like? What should it look like? And where did we get our ideas about this whole process?

      When some people talk about God’s will, I don’t always buy all they’re selling. For example, are God’s intentions really so camouflaged that we must pick apart the planet to find them? That we have to carefully examine the events of every day and every setting, hoping to be attentive enough to correctly piece together some underground plan he has drafted for our lives? That if we accidentally pass over a clue he’s planted, we’ll never find God’s will for our lives?

      When did the search for God’s will become a Nicholas Cage movie?

      Or a race for the five golden tickets randomly wrapped among millions of candy bars?

      Does the God of the Bible work like that? The being who hung the stars in space to declare his glory?³ Who lit the heavens with the sun and sprinkled clouds across the horizon so all people would see his glory?⁴ Does it sound like the God who wrote his eternal strength and divine nature into everything he made, so that his invisible qualities could be understood by all?⁵

      Do these verses portray someone who is in hiding? Who covertly communicates with us through buried messages? It makes me wonder.

      Not to mention I can’t think of a single person to whom Jesus said, Get out your magnifying glass. Pay attention to everything you see, every single day. Verily, verily, I say unto you, God has hidden clues that—if put together correctly—will lead you to the particular blueprint for your life.

      So am I
