"Everyone else got the career clarity I'm still praying for—God answers them, not me."
How it sounds in your head: She knew she wanted to be a nurse at 19. He's already climbing the corporate ladder you can't even find.

I REFUSE the lie that unclear career direction means God isn't speaking or doesn't have a plan. IT IS WRITTEN that the Lord directs my steps even when I can't see the full path.

Your Father isn't dangling purpose just out of reach until you prove yourself worthy. He's ALREADY placed gifts in you, and He's orchestrating opportunities you can't see yet—trust that wandering with Him is never wasted.
