Praying for a New Beginning

[pprior]

I have felt for the last year that I am in a job that I should not be leaving. I have applied for other jobs that would just provide money, but they don't really appeal to me. I am just applying for these because I am qualified for them, and need the money to live. In other words, I would be exchanging one job where I am unhappy, for another where I would likely be unhappy.

I have a very strong feeling that I should be looking at something else, ie, that I need to look for an open door somewhere I have not previously considered. I would like to do something creative like writing or creating an artistic product I can sell, or perhaps helping people in some way, or maybe something with music, but I have just a little experience in these areas. I need money to live, to get my house repaired before I can sell it and to possibly retire which I had planned on doing in a few years. Starting out in something where I have little experience is not going to pay me enough to make it until I can pay off bills and sell the house, so I feel a bit stuck.

I am also experiencing some health issues, depression and anxiety, but I think these are mostly connected to the job, and would leave if I was settled and happy doing something else.

I feel so selfish complaining about my job when there are so many others who are out of work, but I am beyond miserable. I feel dead inside, but at the same time I feel something powerful happening around me that I can't describe. It is like a purging or a cleansing of everything that no longer serves me. Every door is closing, everything I try is a no, but I feel this peace and a surge inside that tells me I am at a point where God wants to use me for something that would provide me with the money and the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing what he put me on earth to do. But I am just not able to grasp what that is for some reason. So I just keep applying for jobs I don't want and praying and waiting.

Please pray that this plan that God has for me unfolds soon, and that I have perfect clarity and confidence that this is the path I am meant to pursue.

I am writing this because the last time I asked for prayer, I had an answer in literally minutes! (no pressure). Thanks.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
