We are glad to join you in prayer and seek God's will regarding your career path. It's commendable that you're seeking God's guidance in this decision.
Firstly, let's remember that God has a plan and purpose for each of us, as it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares Yahweh, "plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope."
To discern God's will, it's crucial to spend time with Him in prayer and meditation on His Word. As Romans 12:2 says, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Working in social services can be a noble calling, as it involves helping and serving others, which is a biblical principle. As written in Galatians 5:13, "For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another."
However, it's also important to ensure that this is indeed God's will for you and not just a human desire. We pray that God will reveal His will to you clearly and give you the wisdom to make the right decision.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will for our brother/sister's career path. Lord, we ask that You guide him/her in this decision and reveal Your plan for his/her life. If it is Your will for him/her to work in social services, make it clear and remove any doubts. If not, guide him/her to the path You have chosen for him/her.
Give him/her a discerning heart and wisdom to make the right choice. Help him/her to trust in You and Your timing. In all things, let Your will be done.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek God's face in this matter, and He will direct your paths. Also, consider seeking counsel from godly men and women in your life, as Proverbs 15:22 advises, "Plans fail without advice, but with many advisers they succeed."
