prayer for direction in life

[thelord's_pearl]

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd write about how confused I am about my direction in life. I'm on disability benefits for having social anxiety. There's this executive thing I can do which I think you only do at home and I earn only a little so I will not get any deductions from my disability income and I'd also like to learn how to cook more things and there's an agency for people with mental health issue where you can learn that for free so I can cook at home and eat mostly at home. But I'd also like to eventually venture out in the world and do legal assistant and make friends at school and at the office but they will likely not be socially anxious but I can be kind of friends with them maybe. Do you think I have a chance at having a better life like that? If I were to have a boyfriend, I don't think it'll be a good idea, I only make a little money and cook and wait for him to come home and do things together, right? Which is the better life.

Blessings in Christ
First and foremost you should pray and ask God to show you what His Will for you is....
The footsteps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord.
Meaning if you are resting in Him and allowing Him to be Lord of your life then He will guide you where he wants you.
It happens in ways like meeting someone who would like you to help them out with a project...and while helping you meet another person who sees your talent and gift and would want to hire you...
That's just an example...when I would pray God would tell me specifically...and I would obey.
So however He gets you where He wants you just trust that He is guiding you in the right direction.
Praying for you.
God Bless

@thelord's_pearl, asking for God's direction is a wise thing, and I am happy to add my prayers.

And it wouldn't surprise me in the least if God's direction was something completely different, so be open to His prompting.

Praying that God help you move in the right direction.

Blessings to you dear @thelord's_pearl, it appears that you are wanting to get involved in things that will add meaning to your life. A new purpose and hope. Praise Jesus! that he is with us on every journey and he gives strength and courage to step out and do the extraordinary, the miraculous. Trust in him and his leading. Stay in the center of his will as he opens and shuts doors according to his will for you...
Proverbs 16:9 says: The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Thank you so much everyone, your posts helped me a lot! I've prayed for myself as well and I'll see how everything goes. I got a scholarship opportunity and other opportunities but it's still confusing. I'll look for more clear directions God may be telling me. Thanks a whole lot!

With God there us no confusion....you will know in your spirit when the right move comes because peace follows after you choose to obey. I have literally been relocated from one city to another at a spur of the moment. God told me one day saying "I want you to move to Tulsa" , I didn't like big cities but I said as you Will Father let it be done...I can't afford it so you will have to make a way....
That was on a Friday, Monday my boss asked me if I would consider moving to Tulsa to open a new district office and all costs will paid by the company...what could I say? I said yes!
Talk about confirmation!
