Jumbled Frequencies

Do you ever feel stuck or confused about your life, like your antennas are picking up multiple signals and the sound is total chaos?  This is something I've been feeling for a while and I know I'm not alone in this.  I want to get dialed in and be able to hear clearly, but that is easier said than done, especially when things are uncertain.  Some questions I've been asking God are, "what do you have for my future?", "how long do you want me to do what I'm doing?", "do you want me to do something else?", "is this where I'll be and what I'll be doing the rest of my life?", etc.  I wrestle with all this because there are so many frequencies to decipher and I'm not sure which one is God's voice.  Am I to wait for God to open a door or try to open one myself and step out in faith?  Has God already spoken to me and I can't hear Him or have I heard Him and am being disobedient?  Am I walking & living in faith or is fear, doubt & skepticism ruling my life in this area?  All these things jumble up the signal in my life.  Though I still don't have the answer to all of this, I know one thing, God has a plan for my life, a plan to prosper me and not to harm me, a plan to give me a hope and a future.  (Jeremiah 29:11)  So, I hold on to this truth and trust that God will speak to me clearly, lead me in the right direction and use me however He desires.  "God, help me not be anxious, but to trust in You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.  Help me not lose heart, but to remain steadfast.  Let your peace & patience reign in my life and let Your thoughts be my thoughts, Your ways be my ways.  Let my ears be tuned in to Your voice and let fear & doubt be silenced so that I may walk in obedience before You and so that my life will be pleasing to You.  Amen."
