God's Will

(compiled and formatted by Bill Stevenson)

Note: This Bible study was formed from search downloads from the Lockman Foundation’s Amplified
Bible verses with the words “God”, “His”, or “Your” with the words “will”, “desire”,
“purpose”, or “pleasure”. I did not include the verses that had those words only within
parentheses or brackets.
