I was raised in a God fearing household, believe in salvation and formed our marriage on that bond and raise my kids to have prayers, morals, Bible stories etc… but my reliance on God is sad. I’m of the “fix it yourself no one’s here to help” mentality. I’m at a crossroad professionally where I continue down a good path or pick something similar but unfamiliar that may potentially be better later. How do you approach God with a plead for guidance (I know it’s a simple answer) but feel like a hypocrite since you’re not really great at maintaining your own personal relationship with Him.

"I’m of the “fix it yourself no one’s here to help” mentality." Initiative is great so long as you have direction. "I’m at a crossroad..." When I look back at all the times I've been there, the times I pushed to make something happen didn't turn out as well as things did when I waited for direction from my prayers. Someone I trust told me our prayers weren't about convincing God of my reasoning, but rather to bring me in line with His will. I believe the arc of your prayers and that of a good place professionally will come together if you just turn on the "flashers" so to speak and park at the crossroads. Just keep praying. Jesus provides. I'll say a quick prayer for you too. kevin
