I had applied for a job but I thought the door had closed (it's been 6 months of silence). All of a sudden, I get a call on Dec. 31 asking me if I'm interested. I also applied to a hospital for volunteer work. I literally begged for that position. I left messages, called multiple times, and even sent an email. The manager for volunteer services did not return my calls, my messages or my email. I also thought the door had closed. Then a few days ago, she replies to my email. It's been close to 2 or 3 months since I sent that email.

I'm now helping out in ministry. I'm also knee-high in my business ventures (net loss but it's only been 3 months). I don't really want the job (and therefore I don't want to go to the interview) and I'm not entirely sure about the volunteer position either. Honestly, I want to continue the ministry, work on my business to get a stable income, and possibly help out at the hospital (but not full time - before I wanted to go into nursing, that's why I needed the volunteer work and I wanted to do it full time).

Here's the problem: I'm not sure what God wants me to do. I had thought all the doors had closed. It was absolutely clear to me that the ministry work was what God wanted me to do because it was the only door that opened and I had not asked for it - in fact, I didn't want it originally. Now I'm no longer clear on what the next step is. I no longer want the things that I had wanted before but here they are... opportunities that I thought were lost.

I am currently leaning towards rejecting the interview and accepting the volunteer position should I get an offer but again, I don't know what to *really* do. I could really use some prayers for guidance. I need one of those big neon billboard signs telling me what to do. I'm pretty blind and clueless to hinting. No chocolates and flowers unless you ask directly!

Lord we come in the name of Christ Jesus and we come to stand on your word that you are not the author of confusion, bit of power, love and a sound mind. Lord open his ears that he may hear from you concerning all things pertaining to his life and godlyness. give him thy peace for what ever it is you want him to do. Lord let it be thy will be done and not his. that he will love what it is that you have him to do. give him the strength and the willing ability to do whatever need to be done. Lord God make his way plain and if any be crucked make it straight. that he will know without any doubt or confusion it is your will for his life. God we ask that you rule and reign in all his life. that confusion will never again be an issue in his life; as you direct him Lord we ask that you give him your wisdom, knowledge and understanding that throughout his life he will know you and what it is that you will have him to do.

Lord God, you is the only true and living God; thank for your mercy and grace you have given oopsie to over come this and all things pertaining to his life, we ask you thisby prayer In the Holy name of Christ Jesus .

Commit all to the Lord andyour plans shall succeed. I always loved ths scripture as it tells us it is not so much about where you are as that all is given to Our Lord God.
I will keep you is my prayers that whatever you do God will glorify himself in your works.
