3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

One of my favorite passages of scripture! There is SO much wisdom, advice,
and guidance for any occasion. We need to have such a relationship with
God so that we can have total confidence that when we go to HIM for
direction, HE will direct our paths.

Another passage is found in Proverbs 3:5-6 (King James Version)

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

We need to get better acquainted with the LORD. HE holds the answer
to every situation. HE will NEVER lead us wrong, IF we seek Him for our
answers, we won't have to worry about being out of HIS WILL!

I think sometimes pastors have been out of Gods will when they try to stop people from leaving.
