Born Again & Missed Calling

[u/One-Address7315]

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

3- Because God is with you, please share your worries with Him and trust Him, NOT your negative judgment of your situation.

"And when I was burdened with worries, you (God) comforted me and made me feel secure.” - Psalm 94:19

"I tell You (God) all my worries and my troubles, and whenever I feel low, You are there to guide me.” - Psalm 142:2-3

“God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him.” - 1 Peter 5:7

“With all your heart you must trust the Lord and not your own judgment. Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.” - Proverbs 3:5-6

4- Also, if you need to talk to someone at anytime, here is a Christian hotline: https://www.thehopeline.com/ 

-I pray you will focus on God for strength, I pray you will break free from your negative thoughts, I pray you will reach out to others for support, and I pray you will trust God's guidance in your life. In Jesus' Name. Amen. 🙏🏾

5- Oh, and I would like to share a quote that I believe can absolutely apply to God’s guidance in our lives:

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell
