What if God's Plan Doesn't Line Up With My Own? Christanon 04/30/18 (Mon) 18:36:26 cebf66 No.641217

Hello everyone. I'm in a fairly troublesome spot right now. I'm a half dropout in a Catholic college. Half as in I'm still taking classes, but on the official record, I'm not a student.

My issue is that I see many different paths that my life can take, from police work and government work to writing and acting. I don't necessarily find the abundance of choices to be bad, but I often find myself wondering which one would be the best one. The most fulfilling, the most substantial. I want to do good in the world for good people, but I'm unsure which path would lead to that, especially now that the world is changing. I see so many paths ahead of me that I wait and think which one would be the best, and I end up doing nothing.

Perhaps an apprehension that I feel is that, what if I find something to do, and it does not line up with what God has in mind? This irritates me, since his wisdom far surpasses my own.

I don't mean to rant at you all, but the truth is that I respect a lot of your opinions, and that won't change now.

Regardless of your opinions however, I would ask that you please pray for me, if you would be so kind.

At the end of the day, you're the most qualified person around who can make this decision. Praying it all works out for you. Good luck brother.

God has in mind that His people exercise their free will. So do it.

You seem like a good lad, I'm sure whatever call you make, God will approve it.

Don't let your perfectionism hurt you. I too struggle with that.

It's just an unrelated joke about a type of social media cancer.

I thought the idea of "God vs Satan" is a Gnostic idea and that the reality is that there is no "fight" since God is perfect. We are the ones who must fight. Anyway, it comes down to a total acceptance of God. Anyone that doesn't totally accept God is doomed to inevitably either become a beast or a demon.

I can not help you, since I have been lost most of my life. And I still am in a certain sense. I think it's about reaching your fullness as a human being, not about following your egoism or giving in to the pressures of others.

The heavens belong to our God; they are his alone, but he has given us the earth and put us in charge. (Psalm 115:16)

In Jewish tradition, whenever you pass by a person harvesting their grain you shout to them, "May the LORD bless you!" One needs to work in order to eat, just as God put Adam in charge of the Garden, He has put us in charge of a certain domain that we are presented with, so within this domain we need to make a decision. That said, anything that is out of your direct control, that's where you need to pray instead of worrying. I was in a similar situation where God presented me with two opportunities, I tried everything, even throwing lots but I felt led to simply make a logical and calculated decision instead and leave everything else to the Lord. Hope this helps.
