Answer
I was discharged from the military recently after being in Iraq for two tours of duty, and while there I barely escaped serious injury or death at least three times. In fact, some of my buddies didn't make it. I can't help but feel that God must have spared me for a reason, but how do I figure out what it is? I'm kind of at loose ends right now.

Answer
My friend says that we're either doing God's will or we aren't doing God's will, and there isn't anything in between. But we're never perfect, are we? So how can we ever say we're doing God's will completely, when we're probably only doing it halfway?

Answer
I know I'm supposed to trust God for the future, but I'm having a hard time doing that right now. I lost my job a few months ago, and I've given up even praying about it because it doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe you can encourage me somehow.

Answer
When I was young, people told me that God put us here for a purpose. I asked God to show me what it was, but I'm in my 80s now and I can't say I've ever done anything special. I tried to do what was right, to be a good husband and father, and to help our church, but did I miss something?

Answer
Is everything that happens already determined by God, and it's going to happen no matter what we do? Or do we have the ability to carry out plans on our own, regardless of what God hoped would happen? I have a real struggle understanding this.

Answer
Our youth leader at church says God has a specific plan for each of us, but I have a hard time believing it. Why would God worry about every little detail of my life, when He has much bigger things to take care of?
