Ladies, I'm talking about major life choices, like careers, or location of residence. Did you feel led by God to do what you are currently doing? To live where you currently live? I've been going through some severe anxiety about my life path, and I know that I need to exhibit more faith about the future and stop stressing, but I'm having a very hard time.
Everyday I have a new idea of what I should be doing. I was hoping to be back in grad school this year, but it didn't work out as planned, and I've been having a hard time finding work. I don't want to be paralyzed by inaction and I feel like my next move regarding career,school, and poss. relocating has to be the right one. I'm getting older and I'm afraid of making another wrong choice in my life that will set me back.
Is it "un-Christianlike" to be so worried about things like jobs, career, and money? I mean seriously occupied with these thoughts. My mother tells me to pray about it, maybe I'm not praying hard enough, because I'm still so confused. How do you wait on God for an answer but still make moves? I can't take this anxiety. I pray to God for guidance, insight, a message in my dreams. Sometimes I think this is a lesson for me not to be so attached to material comforts and a controlled planned life, but it's very hard for me.
I know this is such a general question/and rant, but if anyone experienced this type of confusion and has some words I'd surely appreciate it!
