Feeling stuck in life

[Faithfulandtrue]

I am 24 years old. I have been considering changing jobs because ive been at my job for a few years now and it feels like its time to move on, but I'm scared because I don't know where to go next. I also have been getting depressed seeing this year almost over and again I still haven't had any sights of finally getting a boyfriend. While I watch everyone especially younger people getting married and living adult lives I cant help but feel embarrassed, jealous, deeply sad and depressed. I just feel like I'm in a race and everyone is so far ahead of me and I can't keep up :'( I just feel like I'm getting older and older and just going in circles. I don't know what God wants me to do with my life... everyone else seems to know what career they want.

Praying for you. God bless you and may His will be done.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. —2 Corinthians 4:10

Praying you find joy in life as you wait on the Lord.
His plans and timing are perfect for YOU, but it can be hard waiting.
God bless you

Yesterday is gone forever,
tomorrow is not yet.
Today, well-lived,
will make each yesterday
a beautiful memory,
each tomorrow a ray of hope.

Will pray for you. It can be difficult meeting someone. I dated in school, but it was hard to meet people after college. Maybe try online dating. It can't be any worse than a church singles group. Seriously, they're worth a try also.

I'm double your age and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! lol You're young, don't stress about it. Someone will come along in time when you least expect it and not even looking. I recommend joining some groups of like minded people who enjoy the same types of things you do. Any hobbies or interests I mean. You have plenty of time for that other stuff. Your energy should be focused on you right now and discovering what makes you tick and get passionate about. Pray and listen for guidance. He has a plan for you but you should relax and be calm and listen while exercising patience. Life is a journey, not a sprint.

Bless yer heart, you are not in a race. Although it may be difficult, meditate on these verses, dear heart. Praying for you (((hug)))

I agree with wholeheartedly with @servant of Merciful Love. The waiting room is hard, but He has taught me so much there. I wouldn't give any of it up now!

I understand what you're feeling...I'm also "stuck" in life right now and I don't know what God wants me to do. But Romans 8:28 says "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
We just have to trust and hope and hold tight to him, praying without ceasing. There will be good things, just have faith. I'll be praying for you

I know this all too well.

Father God I pray in Jesus name that your will will be done in faithfulandtrue's life. Comfort the op and destroy the jealousy and the embarrassment in her life. Lord God I pray in Jesus name that you would give her peace.

 

[Levi85]

Father God bless Faithfulandtrue in this matter and you be glorified in Faithfulandtrue's life and situation. In Jesus Holy name, Amen!
