Examples When One Can See That There Is No Will of God (For Marriage or Monasticism)

Archpriest Vladimir Vorobyov

But you still need to seek God's will. How? You need to pray. You need to beg the Lord so that the Lord Himself will show you. And the Lord often shows you in different ways. You can try to take one path or another. It happens that a person comes and says: “I found a bride, and then she suddenly refused. Some time passed, I found another, and she refused. And I found a third, and she refused.” Then the priest says: “Maybe it is not God's will for you to get married? Maybe you should think about monasticism?”

Or another says: “I went to a monastery. I can't live there. I went to another one - again it's the same. I lived for some time as a novice, worked, was a monastery worker. I can't live the way monks live” - that means it is not God's will.
