Entering into Your Rest

I’m seeking Your comfort, Lord, to know whether I have entered into Your rest.  I want to do Your will and do those things that are pleasing in Your sight.  I don’t want to get caught up in the world or in the flesh so that I am against Your will.  I realize how easy it is for me to turn.  It appears that sin is always standing near.  I see sin not only as doing something that is abhorrent and someone could point to it and easily say that it is sin.  For instance, this would be stealing, lying, drunkenness, and other sinful acts like these.  But, Lord, I’m speaking of those sins that are only sin to me because of my conscience.  If I want a closer walk with You, I must do some things and not do others.  For some people, these would not be sin.  

​Lord, I need to know, or better put, would like to know, what should I do about my life.  I feel that I have entered into Your rest where I feel totally comforted in Your presence.  In the back of my mind, I’m wondering if I should be doing other things where I would increase in the world.  I feel that there should be more I should be doing.  But, after looking more closely at your Word, I have determined that I should trust in You, ensure that my heart is right with You, be content with what I have, seek spiritual gifts and manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit in my life.  In doing so, I will be fruitful in your kingdom.  I must also just wait for what You will do in my life.  I need to have only a humble spirit, and You will, at the right timing, give me what I need the most.  I want to thank You for allowing me to have the wisdom to see through this.  You are a great God.  Have mercy on me while I seek You more.
