Ramblings of a mixed up guy

[craig_on_fire]

This wasn't meant to be an essay, I guess it's my prayer requests jotted down in some kind of emotional ramble. Please have patience with me!
I've just finished a gap year working with the salvation army which has pretty much shaken up my faith in such an awesome way.
I've got a few problems though. I've had the most violently turbulent prayer and devotional life, and intimacy with God, that I'm starting to worry what it's doing to my faith.
I've also been noticing that I spend too much time on questions like "does Hell exist" etc... then things like "how can I allow God to use me more fully"

I've had a rocky time trying to work out what I want to do with the rest of my life... I've questioned if God is 'calling' me to do anything, or if it's more about God already equipping me with the gifts and then giving me the opportunity to get stuck into any part of the world I choose. Maybe it's a bit of both, I don't know.
I've spent alot of time in working alongside young people and I'm starting a youth work and ministry degree this september. I don't have the financial backing, but God provides right? Also I have an immense passion for preaching. I hope I get more opportunities (God willing) to do so.. I'm just so worried of stuffing everything up and missing out on anything!
Sorry if this sounds incoherrent. Please pray for me.
Craig.

LOL.......bottom line is you dont know what to do with your life?.................sometimes it suprises me when i see people post saying "should i go to asia,or europe or the americas,god wont tell me"........firstly who are you that god should answer you directly?...he respects no man.............my experience with god is that you just choose yourself and you will find god knew you would make that choice before you made it and will answer your needs further into your chosen career...........hope this helps

Relax! Pray for guidance and then choose the path available. Follow your "gut".

Jesus, you have directed your disciples to come and go, by your own gentle way, calm this rocky boat and still the waters of his trouble. You give us peace that our minds cannot understand, give that peace to craig now. AMEN

Who says you are spending TOO MUCH TIME? You are a student of the Scriptures, doctirnes of the Christians church? In mainline denominations before you can be a youth worker you study 4 years, before you can be a deacon or pastor 8 or more years. You are just starting your study... now don't worry about where you are going... you have lots of time to test that out. Live for today - serve God today - let tomorrow take care of itself.

Jesus, you must have known our hearts so well - always worrying, and looking down the road rather than living in the NOW. You are the Eternal Now, help us to be present with you. Amen
