For many young people today, the future looks like one big question mark. Where to go to school? What job to get? Who to marry?
With so many important life decisions, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and lose focus on God’s plan for your life.
Throughout his ministry, Billy Graham received many questions from young people about how to glorify God during this transitional season.
“God does care what you do with your life, and He doesn’t want you to waste it. … The most important advice I can give you is to seek God’s will about your future. God has a plan for your life—so why not seek it?” Mr. Graham said.
