How do we know if something is God's desire or not?
Reading the Bible, which gives clear instructions for things that God wants us to do as Christians.

What does "Jesus as the bridge" mean?
Why is God's plan sometimes different than ours?
God knows the past, present, and future and knows what's BEST for us! Sometimes, our personal plans don't line up with God's big plan!
Can we enter Heaven by ourselves? Why or why not?
No, we can't enter Heaven by ourselves. We have sin and that means we must be separated from God. We NEED Jesus to save us.
"I'm automatically going to heaven because I do so many good things for my friends who are in need." -- What is wrong with this statement?
We can't automatically go to Heaven, but instead, have to make a choice to accept the invitation. We also cannot earn our way into Heaven, but must be saved by Jesus.

Thanksgiving, adoration (praise God), healing, before eating, asking God for something, for peace, to grow our relationship with God, etc.

Breaking God's rules separates us from Him. God can't even be NEAR sin and so when we sin, we can't be with or have a friendship with God.

Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven
