Confusing Feeling of Feeling Like I was Meant for Something More...

[Goghysk]

Confusing Feeling of Feeling Like I was Meant for Something More... As I've stated in my older prayer requests, I'm a 2nd shift janitor for a school. In my short life story prayer thread, I try to explain the steps my life took that got me to where I am at today. But something inside of me always feels like I was meant for something more than this. It is a very confusing feeling because my number one limitation is my learning disability. My second limitation is my high blood pressure. My Third limitation is my IBS problems. Early 2025 my doctor has me scheduled for colonoscopy to check on somethings, and also to maybe figure out why I've had diarrhea for the past three years. By the way I have always had IBS my whole life, and for that reason alone I never liked to travel, cause I couldn't trust my stomach to behave. Other than that, I would love to travel around and see new places. My learning disability is another reason why I am scared to travel. It has always been a hard thing for me overcome. When I was in school, I got through it with brute force. Just forcing myself really hard to do what I needed to do. It was a very stressful time. Now days I try to keep my stress levels under control. I don't want to go through another breakdown like I did in 2000 something. I've always been worried that God called me to do something with ministry, and that my reaction was "I have a learning disability, and so many other problems, I can't possibly be hearing this right" and then just moved onto the next thing. You see people who have OCD or even a Learning Disability will often have a voice in their telling them stuff that isn't all that good. It is your own intrusive thoughts, and they get mixed with everything else your thinking and feeling. I got diagnosed with OCD too. It is understandable why I have OCD. When you have a learning disability, it makes most things in life a little harder. You look for ways compensate for it. If you tend to over look things, then you will get into a habit of double checking things. And if your tired enough, you might get into a loop of double, and triple, and so on, just to calm your emotions. That is what happens to me at night at work. I guess, what I'm asking for is prayer. I'm asking that you would pray that God would give me a clear direction on my life. Maybe lead me in the right way to deal with the issues I listed above. Above all I want to feel the peace of Jesus in my life. So much that no matter what happens, good or bad, I know He's with Him through it all. I want to know that whatever I do, that I'm in His will for doing it.

 

[Articles]

We understand your struggle, dear friend, as you navigate through life with your learning disability, health issues, and the feeling that God has a unique purpose for you. Let us first assure you that God indeed has a plan for your life, just as He promised in Jeremiah 29:11, "‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.’"

It's important to remember that God doesn't see your limitations as disqualifications. Instead, He can use them for His glory, just as He used Moses' stuttering and Paul's thorn in the flesh. As the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."

Let's address your health concerns. We pray for God's healing touch upon your body, that He would guide doctors to accurately diagnose and treat your conditions. Remember, God is not limited by your high blood pressure or IBS; He can heal you and give you the strength to manage these conditions. As it is written in Isaiah 53:5, "But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was on him; and by his stripes we are healed."

Regarding your desire for ministry, it's common to feel intimidated by our own limitations. However, God calls us not because we are capable, but because He is capable through us. Trust that if God is calling you to ministry, He will equip you with everything you need to fulfill His purpose. As He said in 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, "but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise. God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is not, to bring to nothing what is: so that no flesh might boast before God."

We also want to remind you that the peace of Jesus is not contingent on your circumstances but on His presence in your life. In John 14:27, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our friend who feels a longing for purpose amidst physical and mental challenges. We ask, Lord, that You would make Your will clear in their life, that You would guide them to the path You have set for them. We pray for healing, that You would touch their body and provide wisdom to their doctors. We also pray for their mental well-being, that they would be free from anxious thoughts and find peace in Your presence. Help them to trust in You and Your plan, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You began in them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your focus on Jesus, trusting that He is able to lead you and guide you according to His perfect will. Keep pressing on, dear friend, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Hey there,

We've been thinking about you and your journey. It's clear that you've got a lot on your plate - physically, mentally, and spiritually. We want you to know that we're right here with you, cheering you on.

We love how you're seeking clarity from God about your purpose. It's a good thing to desire more, to want to understand why you're here and what you're meant to do. The Bible tells us in Psalm 37:4, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." So keep seeking, keep desiring, and trust that God will reveal His plans for you in His perfect timing.

We also want to encourage you about your health concerns. We know it can be scary, but remember, God is always with you. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." So lean into Him, trust that He's got this, and that He's using even these challenges to shape you and draw you closer to Him.

As for your desire to travel and see new places, we understand that it can be daunting with your learning disability and IBS. But remember, God doesn't give us spirits of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). So, take it one step at a time, trust that God will give you the strength and courage you need, and know that He's with you every step of the way.

Keep pressing on, friend. You're not alone in this. We're here for you, and so is God. Trust in Him, and know that He's working everything out for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28).

Let's pray together: "Lord, we come to You today, asking for clarity for our friend. Help them to understand their purpose, to see the path You have for them. We also ask for healing, for their body and mind. Give them peace, give them strength, and help them to trust in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep your eyes on Jesus, and keep moving forward. You got this!

In Him,
[Your Name]

It is funny you brought up Moses. Just a couple weeks ago, I talked with someone about this. Not as detailed as I got into here. But I mentioned Moses. I know that God works in our weakness. That is what the scriptures tell us. Anyways thank you for your prayers, they are very very very much appreciated!

Praying for you in Jesus. How much of the Bible have you read? I would love to tell you I have the same problems as you do but instead I will share what Jesus says about me, I am healed by Jesus’ stripes! I am the Righteousness of God in Christ! We can be optimistic through Jesus!

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus.

I'm an audio person. I listen to an audio Bible everyday. I have been through the entire Bible lots of times since 2007. Currently I'm in the book of Isaiah. I don't spend a lot of time quoting scripture in my prayer requests. I'm not here to show off on how much of the Bible I know. I learned a long time ago, it is one thing to know what it says, and another thing to apply it to how I live. The reason why I ask for payer is because I already feel like I'm doing the best I can do, but it isn't enough. Sometimes I might need an extra hand from God to get over the hump. Thank you for sharing and praying for me!

That’s Awesome! I have read and listened to the Bible many times as well. I get on here to share my experiences with Jesus with others but I keep having more experiences. Everywhere I go I share Jesus. People always ask how I am to where I reply I’m Blessed of Jesus which cannot ever change because Jesus can’t lose any of us. A couple days ago I was taking some pictures of my sister’s old house and neighborhood as the leaves are changing. A lady came out of her house to holler at me why are you taking pictures. I had to share Jesus with her and replied because I love Jesus and asked her do you love Jesus. She made me repeat what I said yet her reply was she didn’t know what I was talking about. Then she turned and went back in her house. I believe she did know what I was talking about. The Name Jesus has power and we can all experience everything that we have read about in Scripture just through the Holy Spirit reminding us of His Word. Everything Jesus did, does and will do is for His Glory and our good! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!
