Seriously! For 6 years been doing a job that I enjoy but health risks are becoming clearer and was making me sick. By chance I met a lady on Facebook who helps others with this type of job and risks. She been saying to get k for a king time but I stayed put as money is good and I do not hear from God. I now want to leave and study and do something else but money worries me as a single mom. I ask God to talk to me! I have had chances in other jobs but was not right time. How do I know what to do? I do not feel at peace help.

I would not look to Facebook for Spiritual answers; stick with the Word of God.
BTW what is "K for a King time" mean?

The real question is, how do you not know?
Look at how thick the Bible is. And he's speaking to you through it every single day.

You should go talk to that lady and try finding another job. What's more important, your life or money?
There's probably programs out there that help single moms who want to study or find another job. Seek and you will find.

God bless.

Understand how important it is for us to hear Yahweh's voice. He promises us we can (John 10:27).

One way to know that it's Him is to have peace about a decision. That peace may only be there for a very brief period of time.

David had learned so much by the time he and his men returned to camp and found their dwellings burnt and their wives and families gone. The guys who just fought with him talked of killing him. David wept until he couldn't But then he encouraged himself in the Lord. Only then did he ask Yahweh what to do.

A particularly interesting note is the order. He encouraged himself in The Lord then asks Him what to do. David understood something sufficient in doing this. Numerous life lessons. (I Sam 30)

To encourage myself in The Lord, I can get my mind off myself and concerns and in one sitting -
- set aside some more time to deliberately focus on Yahweh,
- thanksgiving, praising Him,
- play some music ((like religious Christmas lyrics that are about Him),
- focus on Scripture such as Psa 145 (love audio Bibles at biblegateway.com)
- think about some of His titles, names, and attributes and
- sing a song to an audience of One (can change a song's lyrics or make up the lyrics), etc. yet listening.
- glorify His name and tell Him who He is and who He is to me.

There's joy in His presence Psa 16:11 also I Thess 5:17; John 4:24; Psa 46:10, 69:30; 71:23; and 100:4.
