Disciple of Prayer
Please, pray over me. I have been asking God for a career change. Any sign? I have not heard anything from him. I am trying my best to not put things in my own hands but I am completely burnt out from teaching. I know I'm a great teacher but I need a change. The school system is so broken and it is mentally draining. I keep asking God for a sign or anything to help me change and I'm a little lost. Everyone ask me well what do you like to do and what do you want to change to and I have zero clue. I just need help. --
 
We understand the deep weariness and longing for direction you’re experiencing, and we want you to know that your cry for help has not gone unheard by our Heavenly Father. It is clear that you have been faithful in your current role, pouring yourself out in service, and now you are seeking God’s will for the next season of your life. This is a place of surrender, and though it feels uncertain, it is also a sacred space where God often speaks most clearly to those who are fully reliant on Him.

The silence you perceive may not be the absence of God’s voice but rather an invitation to trust Him more deeply. In Isaiah 30:21, the Lord promises, *"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way. Walk in it.’"* Yet, we must remember that God’s timing is not always our own, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). He may be preparing you, shaping your heart, or even preparing the path ahead in ways you cannot yet see. Your burnout is real, and it is okay to acknowledge that the burden has been heavy. Jesus Himself invites those who are weary to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). This is not a sign of failure but of your humanity—and your need for Him.

You mentioned that you don’t know what you want to do next, and that is okay. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Right now, your "path" may feel more like a fog, but God is not confused by your uncertainty. He is the one who gives wisdom generously to those who ask (James 1:5). Instead of fixating on a "sign," we encourage you to seek His presence first. Spend time in His Word, in worship, and in prayer—not just asking for direction, but listening. Sometimes God speaks through a still, small voice (1 Kings 19:12), through the counsel of wise believers (Proverbs 15:22), or even through the desires He plants in your heart (Psalm 37:4).

We also want to gently remind you that while you are waiting, it is important to steward the role you currently have with excellence, even in the burnout. Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* This doesn’t mean you must stay in teaching forever, but it does mean that your attitude and effort can be an act of worship as you transition. God honors faithfulness, even in difficult seasons.

As for practical steps, consider exploring opportunities that align with your gifts—even if they are outside the classroom. Teaching is a multifaceted skill; it involves communication, leadership, patience, and creativity. These are transferable to many fields. You might also seek godly counsel from mentors or career professionals who can help you identify strengths you may overlook. But above all, keep seeking the Lord. He is not withholding good from you (Psalm 84:11). His delay is not His denial.

Now, let us pray over you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, knowing that You see her weariness and hear the cry of her heart. Lord, she has been faithful in the work You’ve given her, and now she is longing for Your direction in this next season. We ask that You would speak clearly to her, not just through signs, but through Your Word, Your Spirit, and the godly counsel around her. Remove the fog of uncertainty and replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding.

Father, if there are doors You are opening, make them unmistakable. If there are doors You are closing, give her the grace to release them without regret. Renew her strength, Lord, as she waits. Fill her with hope and remind her that You are not a God of confusion but of order and clarity. Help her to trust that even in the waiting, You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).

We rebuke the spirit of discouragement and burnout that has sought to weigh her down. In the name of Jesus, we declare that she is not abandoned, nor is she without purpose. You have plans for her—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen her faith to believe that even now.

Lord, if there are areas where she has leaned on her own understanding or grown impatient, forgive her. Teach her to rest in Your sovereignty. And Father, if there are gifts or passions within her that she has not yet discovered, bring them to the surface. Open her eyes to new possibilities and give her the courage to step into them when the time is right.

We thank You, Lord, that You are her Shepherd, and she shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Guide her, provide for her, and let her next steps be ordered by You. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to keep a journal during this season. Write down scriptures that stand out to you, prayers, and even small moments where you sense God’s leading. Sometimes, looking back reveals His hand more clearly than we see it in the moment. And remember: you are not alone in this. The body of Christ is here to support you, and we are standing with you in prayer. Keep seeking, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will lead you.
 
We're right there with you, friend, as you navigate this career crossroads. It's like you're standing at a fork in the road, and you're asking God for a big, neon sign pointing you in the right direction. We get it - the uncertainty can be overwhelming, and it's okay to feel that way. But remember, God often speaks in whispers, not shouts. He's not ignoring you; He's just teaching you to listen differently.

You've been pouring your heart into teaching, and that's commendable. It's like you've been running a marathon, and now you're feeling exhausted. Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). It's okay to admit you're burnt out. It's okay to need a break. God sees your dedication, and He wants to refresh you.

Instead of fixating on a sign, let's focus on seeking His presence. Spend time in His Word, in worship, and in prayer. Sometimes, God speaks through the smallest of things - a verse that stands out, a nudge in your heart, a wise word from a friend. Be open to His voice, no matter how quiet it may be.

And hey, it's okay not to have all the answers right now. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." God's got this. He's not confused by your uncertainty. He's just waiting for you to trust Him with it.

In the meantime, keep stewarding your current role with excellence. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters... It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Even in the burnout, you can serve Him with excellence.

Let's pray: Heavenly Father, we lift our friend up to You today. Lord, You see their weariness, and You hear the cry of their heart. They've been faithful in the work You've given them, and now they're longing for Your direction. We ask that You would speak clearly to them, not just through signs, but through Your Word, Your Spirit, and the godly counsel around them. Remove the fog of uncertainty and replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep seeking, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He's leading you, one step at a time. And remember, you're not alone in this. We're here, standing with you in prayer.

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting you up in prayer as you seek God’s direction for your career. It’s a blessing to stand with you in this season of waiting and uncertainty, trusting that the Lord hears your heart and will guide your steps in His perfect timing. We know how deeply exhausting teaching can be—especially when the system feels broken and your passion is met with burnout. You’ve poured so much into your students and your work, and it’s okay to feel weary. But we’re encouraged that you’re surrendering this to God rather than relying on your own strength, and we’re praying that He will meet you in this place of honest surrender with clarity, peace, and renewed hope.

If the Lord has begun to open doors or speak to your heart in this time, we’d love for you to share a praise report with us—your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs today. And if you’re still waiting, still feeling lost or uncertain, please don’t hesitate to post an update so we can continue to intercede for you. Sometimes the silence can feel heavy, but we’re believing that God is working even in the quiet, preparing something you can’t yet see. He who calls you is faithful, and He will not leave you without direction.

May you feel His presence closely as you seek Him, and may He reveal the next right step in a way that leaves no room for doubt. We’re asking Him to ignite a fresh passion within you—whether it’s for a new path or a renewed purpose in the one you’re on—and to surround you with His peace as you wait. You’re not alone in this, and we’re standing with you in faith.

In Jesus’ name.
