Have you ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, wondering if you’re truly living in God’s will? Maybe you’ve found yourself asking, “God, what do You want me to do?” As Christian women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s purpose amidst the busyness of life and the endless “shoulds” we place on ourselves—who we think we should be and what we think we should do.
But what if the answer to your question isn’t as complicated as it seems? What if God has already placed everything you need within you to know His will?
By understanding His unique design of you, you can uncover clarity, confidence, and direction for your life and business.
I want to show you how God’s intentional handiwork—the way He created your personality, strengths, values, and experiences—can act as a compass to guide you toward His purpose.
Let’s dive in and discover how embracing your God-given design can help you align with His will and step boldly into the calling He has prepared for you.
God’s Workmanship is Your Foundation
Ephesians 2:10 tells us, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” You are not here by accident.
God created you intentionally, weaving together your personality, strengths, talents, values, and experiences to fulfill a unique purpose.
Your unique design isn’t a random collection of traits. Instead, it’s a Mosaic Masterpiece™ that reflects His creativity and purpose for your life. When you begin to see yourself through His eyes, you can let go of striving to fit into molds that don’t align with who He created you to be.
Embrace this truth of being God’s masterpiece and you’ll shift from asking, “What should I do?” to discovering, “How has God already equipped me to serve?”
How to Know What God Wants You to Do by Understanding God’s Design of You
Have you ever asked, “God, what do You want me to do?” It’s a question that weighs on many of us, especially as Christian women entrepreneurs and business owners. In the busyness of life, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s purpose for us and feel unsure about our next steps.
But what if the answer isn’t as complicated as we sometimes make it? What if God has already equipped you with everything you need to know His will? By understanding His unique design of you, you can gain clarity, confidence, and direction for what He wants you to do.
Understanding Your Unique Design
God’s design of you acts like an exquisite blueprint, helping you discern what He wants you to do. Here are key aspects of your Mosaic Masterpiece™ to consider:
- Your Values
God has placed specific priorities in your heart that reflect His character. What matters most to you? Identifying your values helps you focus on what aligns with His will and avoid distractions. - Your Strengths and Talents
Your natural abilities are gifts from God meant to equip you for your calling. Ask yourself: What do I do well, what am I passionate about, and how can I use it to serve others? - Your Experiences
Even your struggles have a purpose in God’s plan. Reflect on how your life’s journey—both the triumphs and the challenges (those things you have overcome)—has prepared you to connect with and help others. - Your Spiritual Gifts
Spiritual gifts are divine enablings given to you by the Holy Spirit to serve the body of Christ. Discovering these gifts can clarify how God wants to use you in His Kingdom work of making disciples.
God’s Design is a Compass, Not a Map
Many people look for a detailed map from God, expecting every step to be clearly outlined. But God’s unique design for you really acts like a compass, pointing you in the direction of His will. When you take the time to understand your Mosaic Masterpiece™, you gain clarity about:
- Your Values: What truly matters to you. God aligns your heart with His through the values that guide your decisions.
- Your Strengths and Talents: What you are naturally gifted at. These are tools He’s equipped you with to fulfill your calling.
- Your Experiences: Even the hard seasons have purpose. God uses them to shape you and position you to serve others.
- Your Spiritual Gifts: These gifts that are meant to edify others and bring glory to Him.
When you understand His design of you, you can discern opportunities and decisions that align with His will. Instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you can move forward with confidence, knowing that you’re walking in step with His purpose for your life.
Instead of guessing what God wants for you, your design helps you discern opportunities, relationships, and actions that align with His plan.
Letting Go of Comparison
Comparison is one of the greatest barriers to understanding what God wants you to do. It’s tempting to look at someone else’s life or business and think, “Maybe I should be doing that.” But God’s plan for you is as unique as your design.
Psalm 139:13–14 reminds us, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Your design isn’t meant to mimic someone else’s—it’s meant to reveal how God can work through you, in ways only you can accomplish.
And remember, your good works—the ones prepared just for you—require your design. When you embrace this truth, you can let go of the pressure to compare and focus on the unique mission He’s entrusted to you.
Practical Steps to Discover God’s Will Through God’s Design
The first step is to discover and embrace His design of you. Here are three practical ways to begin:
- Spend Time with God
Spend intentional time asking God to reveal His design for you. Pray for wisdom and clarity, trusting that He will guide you. - Reflect on Your Life
Journal about your strengths, talents, values, and experiences. What patterns emerge? How has God used these in the past to impact others? - Engage with Community
Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, and like-minded believers who can help you see God’s design in your life and encourage you as you step into His will.
Walking in Confidence in God’s Design
Understanding God’s design of you isn’t just about self-discovery—it’s about aligning your heart, mind, and actions with His purposes. When you align your life and business with God’s unique design of you, you’ll find yourself in the center of His will.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about being faithful to who He created you to be and stepping into the good works He’s prepared for you.
Instead of chasing external validation or trying to force a path that doesn’t feel right, trust the masterpiece He’s made in you. Look inward to the gifts He’s given and follow the compass of His design.

Be filled to overflowing,
This is a wonderful explanation of the ‘compass’ within each of us that can help direct our paths to the works God has for us and His ministry.
I love to see how God uses me in helping clients transform their homes and businesses when I help them to organize. This can range from helping organize their thoughts, projects and plans to physical work and home spaces. God provides wisdom and energy and all my past experiences provide lots of context for understanding different people and the way they think, their work styles, personalities and priorities. I help each person and meet them where they are. I’m still discovering the rich well of gifts the Lord has bestowed me with.
Because I’m a Christian entrepreneur and a mom, I’m able to identify with other busy working women and the challenges of keeping our homes and businesses in order, and living a life of fullness. I love being able to help women get organized and free up time in their lives to focus on family, projects, and ministry.
