The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Is it too much for me to ask The Lord what I should do with my life? I’m staying away from politics and other things and am just waiting for some confirmation. What’s really worrying me is from years of /pol/ I know that the world is burning, and I feel like I should just drop this and jump in back into /pol/ doing whatever I can. But at the same time I have a another conflicting view telling me that I should rest on God’s will.

Tl;dr I feel like I’m supposed to wait on The Lord so I can have clarity as to what I’m supposed to do (is that prideful?) while I have thoughts screaming for me to get back to /pol/ and do something.

It's not what you will do. It's what Christ will do in you.

>a pol larper

/pol/ isn't a reflection of the real world boy, and being on pol is not doing something about it

Either way you should find a path for your life, such as I need to as well, and then hopefully we wont be sperging around so much in imageboards.

>Implying you're not burning yourself

You can start by losing a bit of pride. And stop watching anime.

Then where should I go?

Also I have no idea what I should be doing and am too afraid to make the wrong choice without God’s guidance.

Love God and keep the commandments, for this is mans all.

Just go on enjoying your life while following the lord. There's no sense is in crying about things you can't fix and if you want something to be fixed then pray that the lord will fix it. Going on /pol/ won't solve anything. (I recommend avoiding 4chan in general.)

>ITT: christians debate the best way to bury their heads in the sand

pathetic, and I'm baffled that this is the consensus

Have you tried speaking to a spiritual director or vocational director?

DEUS VULT

or whatever you expected/wanted isn't going to help the troubled mind of an anon.

How about self improvement? Have you nothing to offer this lad but God? Have you nothing to offer but a blind eye to the suffering of this world?

They’ll only be able to do so much. I’ve talked to my parents and they were able to do as much as they could.

I really hate saying this, but I’m waiting for a divine encounter with God. I don’t think anything else can fill this void, I don’t think it’s even humanly possible to fill it.

>>759623

I want to fight, but on my own I’m utterly hopeless. I’m sitting here waiting on God for clarity for what to do while going insane.

It's not going to happen the way you wish. These things only happen to little children or people who have been keeping the commandments for years, because only they are humble enough to make holy use of a mystical experience. Or spiritually blinded people like St Paul. You seem to understand enough that you can follow the given path like anyone else, so you should stay in your tracks and grow in faith, hope and charity. This is what I've figured out after a spiritual retreat, and it's more than I had hoped for. If you read basic catechism and have a regular spiritual director to answer your personal questions, you will spend far less time wandering on image boards.

Hopelessness should be combated with the utmost fervor. It's the cancer killing this world. The future is great. My heartfelt advice is to work on yourself. You can't change the world from the outside in. Find your inner peace. And stop sitting around waiting for God. Go out and find him instead.

Thanks, I guess the least I could do is work on myself.

>The future is great

How do you know? I’m not doubting you, just curious.

>>759791

Thanks, I’m not really in the position to do reach out to others yet. I’m a 16 year old who can hardly do anything with my health, with evangelical parents who don’t even know I’m Orthodox. I emailed a priest about it and He said to pursue it quietly. I guess I can bind my time trying to come up with some good arguments and link them other sources when ready.

Also here’s this nice lecture I found last night:

This. I hate the hopelessness that so many people have today.
