My dear brothers and sisters ...
I am at a crossroad and I feel like I cannot find my way
I do not know what to do for a living, meaning I don't know what to study for in college
I tried police foundations, early childhood education and I am now in a pharmacy technician program
With the police foundations, I am not physically capable of doing the physical part
With early childhood education, I don't seem to have the love for teaching and creating ideas for games and such
and right now with pharmacy technician, the workload is to too much for me to handle as there are too much memorization to do and studying (and I mean a lot ... I have to memorize 700 + terms and drugs by the end of this semester) and the thought that even the slightest mistake could kill a person .... seems like something I cannot handle
Don't get me wrong, I have liked all of these programs, but I just don't want to pursue these careers
now ... I am looking into general - office adminstration as it deals with computers
I have always liked computers, but I am not so sure if it's right for me
I am already in debt and I don't want even more debt so I really, really want to choose the right career path and the will that God has for me
I don't really have something that I love to do so that's why I have completely no idea what career study to choose
I even took a year off of high school to really think about it, but I always seem to be changing my mind
Now I don't know if I should just forget about school altogether or if I should try out the computers course
This is really stressful for meand I have been praying to God for the longest time for Him to show me the way and I can't seem to find an answer
I am at an "I don't know" stage where I have no idea what to do
I don't really have a pastor to talk to because there have been problems
please pray for me guys
I am losing hope
I know my God is faithful, but why can't I just come to a decision?
soemtimes I feel like something is wrong with me
I just spend all day crying as I do not know what to do ...
So please guys keep me in your minds
God bless your hearts

My wife and I are praying for you tonight. It sounds like you are in your 20's, is that right? Well, the main thing I want to say is that God reveals his plans for us at different ages or different times in our lives. I didn't have clue about what kind of career, or what to study in college, until I was 26. It took me 10 years to get a bachelor's degree, working for a while, then taking classes for a while. And even after that, I have changed careers twice.
So let me encourage you not to be in a hurry, not to pick something just because you feel like you have to. It's ok to take a job that is not your "passion in life," just so that you have a steady income, you can pay on your debts, you can meet people and see what the work world is like, and you can relax a little and not be so stressed out. Maybe a year or two of that, then you could have a better idea of what you want to do.
Or more importantly, you could have a better idea of what God wants you to do. Remember, just because you have a career or a college major now, that doesn't mean you have to do that the rest of your life. In fact, most people change careers and interests at least once during their life. I think that's one of God's little gifts in helping us stay on our toes!
Be sure to talk with God about it every day, not just crying but also really opening your heart to him and reading his word. Ask him for his peace that passes all understanding, and ask him to give you wisdom from the Bible. And be sure to share this with other believers that you trust, whether it's a pastor or a trusted Christian friend or a family member. I'm just reminding you that you don't have to come to a quick decision that you could regret later.

good advice jke_co!
Lord I lift Love2play to You now. I thank You that You are not a god of confusion. I pray You would encourage Love2play now and give him clarity and direction on what Your will is for him. I pray You would continue to strengthen him through this and give him the answers that he needs. I also pray You would remove any barriers that might be keeping him from hearing from You. Give him peace in this and help him to keep his focus on You. Thank You Jesus,
in Jesus name,
amen

Have you considered taking an aptitude test to tell what your good at and what might suit you best?
Father, i lift up Love2play to You. Gently guide her in the direction she should go. Fill her with Your peace as she follows Your lead in this. Bless her and help her Father. In Jesus precious name. Amen
