Hi, this is a hard prayer request, by no means am i trying to be selfish
But, Iv'e been praying and surrendering this situation to the Lord and His will for my life, specific will. I am praying, reading, listening, for the Lord to speak so i can act and do what HE says, to do. And the books and some things i did this week was also in Sunday schools teaching, right on que with what i am learning and, so last night I had another really bad disscussion with grandma about leaving and living elsewhere, trying to find a way to do something besides being stuck in a room all day long ever y day with no one to talk to and nothing to do. I want to be in Gods Will tho, but this is making me go crazy and i dont want to just explode under all this pressure, I do bring al ot of things to Him now instead of venting on other people or people onnline like iused to, and I know right now i have to wait for Him to just answer but in the meantime, He has been comforting me.
I am leaning towards since i am not prepared and seems like i will NEVER be, that maybe the way to be prepared is just to go out and learn it, and maybe when im in that situation i willlearn about a lot, i cant do all things at once and I am waiting on the Lord to act but ive been bringing them to Him many many things in my life surrender to Him, and let it go, let God handle it, although it is hard and i still get so emotional i think its because the lack of people and tihngs to do that is still causing me to turn to certain things is a way of trying to get out of em, We read ephesians 5:15-21 today, and just pray that God will open up Grandparents heart to really see how much i need to be able to get a place of my own, and things to do and places to go, itsl ike i still need permision to do Anything like a child does. Pray that the Lord will answer this prayer and that a perfect home will be there for me, that i will know and recognize it and open a job up for me too, something that I also can keep writing and sharing m y sermons with others for Christ. thats all

Hello~

It sounds like you are dealing with different issues in your life that are all boggled up. From what I am understanding is that you are living with your grandparents. It also sounds like you are not in school anymore either. You have on your profile that you are in college.

So, with little info that I have to go on about you, I'm thinking that your at a point in your life where your independence means everything to you. That your not communicating to well with your grandparents either. You want to go out and 'see the world' in your own eyes instead of everyone elses. Am I getting close?

Well... all I can tell you is what I feel... be careful what you ask for. Sometimes we are where we are at due to God's protecting us from something we would not be able to handle yet. This doesn't mean God wants you to be locked up in a room doing nothing. That is NOT the best thing for you to be doing for sure. That's probably why you are going through a lot of these feelings of suffocation!

I don't know about why you can't leave and go to the library or the mall or to the park to just get away. But I would hope you could try these to just get away and think about things in your life.

One thing I would suggest is that you need to not dwell on getting out on your own first but to look at what is making you feel this way. Why do you feel so suffocated living with your grandparents. I don't want you to answer me that... I want you to talk to God about this. You need to talk to God and let Him know why you feel this way and He will start showing you things YOU NEED TO SEE TOO!!! And beware... sometimes we don't like what He will be showing us either. But always know it is ALWAYS for our own good.... He is always showing us things to help us in life. He will prepare you for what you need when you need it.

If it is meant for you to go out on your own... He will open those doors without the family being torn apart. You need your family as long as it is a loving one. If your grandparents are just trying to protect you, love them for that. Yes.. some can be OVERLY protective... but they mean well.

So, think on these things and pray the Lord will guide you to the TRUTH in what to do and when to do it! My prayers are with you in all this and I pray that you will know that 'All things work out for the good of those who love God!'

Love & Prayers,
Linda
