The path of assurance
Have you ever pondered what God wants you to do with your life?
Many people wonder what God wants them to do in their life. Some get hung up on details—like which school to attend or where to live—as they ponder their purpose and try to align their decisions with His will.
You will soon discover why Merrell McIlwain says, “It’s not complicated!”
Instead of starting a complex search for direction, Merrell introduces readers to a new and simple perspective: “The Path of Assurance.”
It’s a clear and effective guide for embracing God’s will throughout one’s journey, and it begins with a firm foundation in Christ—the One who implants desires in individual hearts.

INTRODUCTION
You have been created with the obligation and ability to grow and learn as a child of God, and as you do, to more fully resemble him.
Therefore God’s will for your life is not difficult to find. God doesn’t hide his will under an invisibility cloak or require you to follow a complex path to find it.
Instead, the first step in experiencing God’s will is simply delighting yourself in the Lord. When you do that, God will give you new desires to serve him.
As you recognize those new desires you must take action.
God has given you judgment and wisdom, which you should use to make day-to-day decisions. God will work them all into good while conforming you to the image of Christ.
With God ensuring that all things work together for good, you can make choices freely. As you do, God will provide you with the confidence to take the next step, and the next.
Then, instead of asking God to show you his will, you are free to simply do his will. The end result will be bigger, bolder, and better than anything you could ever imagine, and it will take you places you never dreamed of as God does the impossible.
This book focuses on life in the here and now, and how you can experience the will of God to become more like him.
PREFACE
WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE?
I have wrestled with that question since junior high school. At that time I was trying to figure out where I should go to college. I didn’t understand who I was trying to please or why, the factors I should consider, or what my choice might eventually mean. Like most of my friends, I was pretty much clueless.
I needed a dependable way to make decisions, but didn’t know what that should be. So I put a lot of effort into finding the answer to my question. Over the years I read the Bible and other books, talked with my friends and pastors, prayed for guidance, and even taught some classes about how to find God’s will. Finally, I graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a degree in Biblical Studies.
But I still couldn’t be sure of the answer. There was never enough time for me to consider all the facts before it was time to act. The books I read were sometimes contradictory or too complex for me to follow, and the answers the authors proposed didn’t seem to work anyway. I knew God was a key part of the process, but was never sure what he wanted me to do.
That is why I have written this book. Now, at age 73, I have the perspective to explain a practical way you can experience God’s will. I call it “The Path of Assurance.” It is energizing and allows you the freedom to enter the open and spacious life God has promised us.
As you read this book, be open to new ideas about the age-old question – how can I understand and experience God’s will in my life?
