| | Thank You for the prayers and Ancient_scribe's and CM's comments. They really helped.
Because now I understand You have a plan, regardless of my material desires. You know what's going on; I'm just a kid who worries too much.
I want Your will to be done here. The situation has arisen that I pretty much have to make my college decision this week for a variety of reasons (none of which make me too happy, but this is all Your idea) and I'm trying really hard to make sure You're my guide. I want Your will to be done, not mine. You know what's best for me, ultimately. So when I make the official decision, God, I know Your work will be done.
I'm admitting that I am terribly frightened of what's in store, but I am also excited, because You are a loving father who has granted me a talent I wish to put to Your use. Lead me, Lord God. Take me by my hand and steer me in the right direction; without You I am hopelessly lost.
You understand the sticky situation; if I go to my top college, I will be pursuing my passion as well as taking out loans well over ten thousand per year (which my family may not afford); if I go to my second top college, I will be ensured a paid spot, but my photography will be temporarily on hold. Where do I go? My dreams or shall I be pragmatic? I do not wish my younger brother the financial troubles the rest of us sibs suffered through. I want him to live a teenagery life, not the forced poverty we've had. At the same time, how can I miss this golden opportunity? I already blew it once, God. What do I do?
I have faith You will light my way, and whatever shall be is according to Your map. You are my GPS system and I am relying on You because I am in an area I am unfamiliar with.
Thank You, God. I cannot say that enough. Praise be Your name!
In Your name I fearfully and hopefully pray,
Amen.
