Car wreck, among many other things...

[Destroyer2000]

It seems like I only come here when I have a prayer request, and I apologize. Things do seem to look up everytime I come though.

Well, for starters, I had a car wreck today...I'm okay, just shaken up, so far as I know, and my pride is hurt. But other than that, fine. The car I'm not sure about...it was leaking transmission fluid and oil, so if its just the pans, I'm good, but if the actually transmission is brokem, I'm in deep water. I've never had a wreck, and I seriously depend upon my car, and it's in the shop for now, so yeah...it's not a good situation. I'm thankful to be okay, but not long ago I hit a deer and put the car in the shop, as well. My girlfriend suggested that the Lord might be trying to get my attention or tell me something, but what that might be, I don't know...

Second, graduation. It's coming up fast, and it's scary. I also have problems with my career choice. I want to follow the path that God has for me, the problem is I just don't know what it is. I'm not going to worry about it, as I've given it all to Him, but please pray that I will have the knowledge and discernment to see His Hand when He shows it to me. And then there is a problem with seats, which brings me to this next one....

My father. My parents have been divorced since I was three weeks old or so, and I"ve never been on good terms with my father. My mom told him he had to buy a ticket to my graduation. So yeah. I feel entitled to send him one, seeing as he is my dad, even if we are not close. But the thing is, he will come, make a scene, and yeah...make it horrible, I'm afraid. Besides that, my tickets are going to my family and the other three I get to my girlfriend and her sister and mom. I don't want my father coming in, and causing trouble, but yet I wish we were closer, and things weren't how they are.

As you can see, I've had quite a bit on my mind lately. Adding to that money problems with the fact I now have a ticket, repairs, and I still owe some money to the school...even more stress. I've been under a tremendous amount of that lately. I feel I'm near a breaking point, because I no longer know what to do...my girlfriend told me to just pray about it, give it all to God, and not to worry, but at times like this its extremely hard to. So I'm asking that you all will pray that things improve, and that His will be done in my life, an that I can trust Him to let all things be done according to His time and purpose, not mine. Thank you.

I will be praying for you. I myself had a situation like that with my father for a very long time. Don't worry you're not alone in the spiritual conflict. God Bless and may peace be with you:thumb:

I'm praying for you. I can tell from your prayer request (So I'm asking that...) that you are a Godly person and I thank God for that. Not only that, but these prayers will be answered because what you are asking for are actually promises of God. Your situation will improve (things always get better with God), His Will will be done in your life, and blessed are the ones who trust in the Lord instead of themselves.

Also, here's a scripture I meditate on when I am stressed:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27.

And when I'm afraid of doing a Godly thing:
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe." - Mark 5:36

And I'm glad you're getting your dad a graduation ticket. No matter what he might do to you or to the rest of your family and friends, show your dad what it means to be a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'll be praying too.

And you don't absolutely HAVE to have a set career path when you enter college...there are usually general education requirements that you will still have to take, and those you should most definitely take first. I've heard that a lot of students still don't know what they're going to do even after a couple of semesters.

You could always look for an "interest inventory" test and take that...it's a good place to start, as it looks at your answers (stuff like "do you like being around people?" "absolutely, somewhat, it's okay, not really, no way" or something like that) and suggests career options based on what sorts of careers you might enjoy.

Also, advisers are there to help you pick your classes, help you with your future career, etc. You can also go to them for help as well; undergraduate advisers could work but if there's an adviser for "undecided" majors I would consider talking to them.

Hope I could help.
