@ Torn by life: you can pray all you liek but God only answers what he wants to answer and in his own time. GOD has a plan and sometimes it is hard for us to surrender all.

Another poster as already given you information on praying for GOD'S WILL for your life and pray that whatever it is that your facing at the moment that it is not too great for you.

don't pray for a specific job and then do nothing expecting it to just materialise. It is best to pray and ask for God's guidance and what i sometimes do is to ask him to share some of his plans with me. and be still to listen to that 'voice' though i i find it difficul to hear at times.

Also take this time to look at what you are learning and what it is adding to your character.

Do not lose faith, remember that faith is believing in what you can not see (so step out on it) but at the same time do not expect somebody to come from the sky and save you and make everything better. God is all around and as long as his will is happening in your life it's all good.

clay needs to be molded and then goes through the fire to be made stronger.

If your not dead you can and WILL reach where you want and where u need to be (perhaps pray that what you want and what God thinks you need are one in the same to save heartache).
