I got some real big decisions to make REAL soon....like in the next week.

I'm almost finished uni and since being at uni I've become a Christian.

I'm not sure whether I should go out and get a job or if I should take a year and do some student work for my church.

My parents, sadly, are not Christians, and I feel that if I were to work for the church my pop would probably disown me.

Can you please pray that God just gives me a clarity and to just let me know what He wants me to do? And also if He does want me to work for the church if He could just soften my parent's hearts so that they kind of understand why I'm doing it?

Cheers, thanks a lot!
Jay

God's direciton in our life comes in the form of instructions. At times we will hear those instructions and not want to do them. Listen from your spirit for God's instructions on your life. Chances are it will disagree with nonchrsitians views because the will not understand. it will seem like foolishness to them. But always remember through all things have faith God will see you are comforted in all you do.

God Bless

Oh LORD, please show Jay what Your will is concerning his future. I pray that You would make it clear to him what You would have him do. If You have put it on his heart to work with his church, then I pray Father that You would prepare the way at home for that to happen, and to likewise minister to his family. I pray You will give him wisdom, courage and peace as he seeks You and Your will. Thank You LORD for helping us with every step and being with us, in Jesus' name, amen.
in Him, Leslie

Please, Father God, show Jay the way you would have him to go. Point him to people who will give him Godly, wise, and correct counsel. Also, give him grace and wisdom in dealing with the conflict with his family, and Lord, reveal Yourself to his parents also, that they may come to know Your Glory and accept Christ as their Savior as well. Through Christ our Lord, amen.

First off I'd like to thank all you guys and gals that prayed for me, it means a lot to me. So far, no word yet on what's goin on in that department, but God is good and will guide.

I decided not to make another thread, but I need some prayer again, if you don't mind.

A little while ago I met this totally awesome, amazing, perfect girl that goes to my church. I kept praying that God's will be done between us, whatever that may be, if that would be a relationship or just friends. Recently I got up the courage to finally tell her I REALLY liked her and asked her out and she informed me that she was goin out with another dude (non-Christian). Afterwards I felt alright because I just said "well, it was God's will and I'll just have to live with it". But seeing as we've remained friends and I've been talking to her lots I've just felt so disappointed at the fact that she's seeing this other guy.

Can you guys just pray that I'll just be able to accept God's will and that I'll just accept the fact that I'll only be her friend?

I feel so guilty for feeling disappointed at what God has chosen.

Thank you so much, you guys are stars!:thumbsup:
