What does God want me to do considering: employment, relationships, family and any other huge decision? If God does have a plan, what if I mess it up or don't do it right? How do I know what doing it the right way is?

What is a calling? I have heard so many people speak of this calling but never really understood how God can call you to do something. In the past I have been led by the Holy Spirit in decision making while in prayer but to be honest it took dedication, solitude, being wrapped in the word and most importantly, obedience on my part.

I have sensed a calling for several years now but that's just it, I sensed something but was never clear as to what that something is. I once thought I was to write a FAQ for God book. I was clear in finding these answers by searching Gods word and seeking wisdom from Godly people but had the arrogance of being a definitive author to compile such work.

Battling sin is very similar; you just can't write a prescription and expect the patient to be well. There are also many factors to consider such as what kind of a lifestyle are you living? Do you watch movies and TV shows that are conducive to the temptation of this struggle? Are you reading Gods word daily and dedicate a time for solitude to reflect and listen for His soft voice? Do you believe that God will help?

To be honest, I couldn't answer yes to all the above questions- I no longer felt
