I need prayer

[Smithaw1]

I just got back from a week-long mission trip to Nicaragua. My dad leads two mission trips every year, I am 21 and have gone 8 times since age 6. It was really a great week. 731 made first time professions of faith. It was a special week and I could really feel God moving in me. I was really sad to leave for the first time in my life. The team was medical, construction, and of course evangelical. While on the trip I had a strong desire to devote my life to mission work. I want to become a doctor or someone in the medical field. I was already taking Chemistry and Biology -2 years late but at least I finally had an inkling of what i wanted to do. But starting last week, I really wanted it. I had 5 tests scheduled for this week --the first of which was the big boy-Chemistry. I am a pretty smary student I made a 1450 on my SAT and have a 3.85 GPA, but chemistry comes hard to me. I studied for hours on end Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I prayed to God that if this was his will for my life that I would do good on my tests this week. I went into the test thinking I knew it all. I just got back my test and got a low D. All year I have made stupid mistakes on Chemistry tests and today was no different. Now I don't know what to do. The joy of thinking I knew God's will for me is gone.-- I'm really depressed. I will have to study hard just to make a C in the class now. I desperately want to know God's will for my life. Maybe praying for help on the test was wrong. But it seems to tell me that God doesn't want me to be a Dr., nurse etc. I just really want and need any kind of advice, and please everyone that reads this pray for me, because I'm really down right now

sorry that happened that way. maybe God wants u to be sure ... somehow there is something to this here.. dont give up but pay attention to the way things are going. what kinda of errors... why? because u have false confidence? drs must know their stuff and not make stupid errors.. u are fooling with lives there. how else can u help others? maybe not medically but spiritually ? can you talk to people , can you be a counselor of sorts? dont mean to minimize the goals in your life.. but maybe a shift is in order after you examine things u mentioned. i'll pray you can get some answers

maybe God wants you to be the best doctor you can be! That means studying as hard as you possibly can. Chemistry is really hard, I took it last semester, and I'm not sure what level you're taking but I might be able to help you out. Also try different studying techniques. I found w/ my chem. class I had to start studying for the test at least a week in advance, instead of just the night before. I would also make myself quizzes and flashcards to practice with. Let me know how it goes, I will be praying for you!

God has positive answers for all the negative things we have to say to
ourselves.
You say: "It's impossible"
God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27) You say: "I'm too tired"
God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) You say: "Nobody
really loves me"
God says: I love you (John 3:16 & John 13:34) You say: "I can't go on"
God says: My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15) You
say: "I can't figure things out" God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6) You say: "I can't do
it" God says: You can do all things (Philippians 4:13) You say: "I'm not able"
God says: I am able (II Corinthians 9:8) You say: "It's not worth it"
God says: It will be worth it (Roman 8:28) You say: "I can't forgive myself"
God says: I FORGIVE YOU (I John 1:9 & Romans 8:1) You say: "I can't manage"
God says: I will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19) You say: "I'm afraid"
God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7) You say: "I'm always worried and frustrated" God says: Cast all your cares on ME (I Peter 5:7) You say: "I don't have enough faith"
God says: I've given everyone a measure of faith (Romans 12:3) You say: "I'm not smart enough" God says: I give you wisdom (I Corinthians1:30) You say: "I feel all
alone" God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)
Remember we have a savior{ Jesus } who is the rock of our salvation.
When satan comes knocking at your door, just say,
"Jesus, will you get that for me."

Hey! I support you all the way. God has been working in my life alot lately, or at least i've been finally noticing it. I agree with JillLars when they say that God might want you to be the best doctor you can be! I am in high school, and i perform onstage. its my senior year, and i haven't had a lead yet. I prayed to God about getting a lead in the musical (my last performance of the year), and i didn't get it. but He did give me understudy to THE lead. That tells me that maybe i'm not ready. I also have understudy to another lead, and that person that i'm understudying is about to be kicked out of the show, so i might actually get a lead after all! Just remember that God knows what He is doing, we aren't always sure why He is doing it, but we have to accept it and keep praying about it. I'll keep praying for you! If you want anyone else to pray for you, goto the link in my signature.
