"I don’t really want to follow God’s plan"
Ever heard of a guy named Jonah?
All joking aside
When you become adopted into God's family through the work of Christ. Our sinner side doesn't go away. We still have roots of evil in our souls. The heart(flesh) will want one thing, but the Holy Spirit will guide you in a different direction. (Galatians 5) Lord knows how to father and teach you his ways, even if you don't want to listen. He will let you do what you think is right in your eyes, so you can discover on your own how hollow it all is. (Ecclesiastes, Proverbs 16)
The only way you can do the Lord's will is for his grace to melt your cold heart. We all go thru it in one way, shape, or form. When you get there, doing what you are called to do becomes a joy.
That all being said, I am proud of you admitting or being honest about how you feel about the situation. It is a stepping stone in the right direction, and realistically it could take years for God to do a work in you that brings fruit. Many here will be praying for you!
