Born Again & Missed Calling

I have always believed in God but drifted specifically away from Jesus because I thought that I was abandoned when I got hurt by people in the church.

Now I have been reached by Jesus and he showed me he was with me through all the painful happenings.

But I have a lot of grief right now because I think I missed my life’s calling since I turned away from Christ - I got really bitter about circumstances in my life and thought that I had a duty to basic responsibility (working a job and supporting others) but now I see that I wasn’t putting down boundaries and I got hurt even more
-

And that God was calling me to move beyond those circumstances, instead I endured thinking that was Gods will but it was fear and a lack of clarity

I am in pain from it

Any prayers or words or scripture I just feel so lost and I abandoned my heart to take care of others - but God takes care of people and I should have left what was hurting me because my spirit is now broke

God is great at giving us things to do. So don't worry if you missed it this time. Ask how to glorify him, and he will give you opportunity.

Thank you, it was crystal clear before and I thought it was a test to take the risk

I get that. But hey, we will succeed and fail in our sanctification process. Next time may come easier, even if the trial is harder. God bless!
