10 Questions for Self-Discovery of Purpose Get away by yourself and prayerfully consider each of the following questions.  Write down what you see and feel in your heart at this present time.  Do not discuss these questions with anyone else or ask them what they think because if you do the answers probably will be wrong.  You and God are the only ones who can come up the right answers.  When you do this you will begin your journey to discern and discover the plan of God for your life.
