hi everyone.

i feel i'm in a situation at the moment. i have been following the Lord for 4 years now, being dramatically changed and uplifted, devoting my time to Him. this year i began a social work course, because i felt it was what GOd intended for me to do. i have also entered into leadership within my youth group. But When i teach my group about GOd, His Word, this life, i always feel its last minute because im been doing uni. i also find myself mising leadership meetings because ive left things to the last minute. This week my youth Pastor rang me up and said they have been noticing that i havnt been 'all there" within my leadership and spiritually and its' true i have been feeling really dry spiritually. I feel down all the time becuase i havnt had a car or job for 4 months, and depending on my parents to provide for me. I want to live this life for GOd with all that i am, but i dont know what to do in this situation. Should i step down from leadership, or is this a trial that will shape me into a better leader and follower. God usually gives me the answers and i always and still turn to Him first within my daily devotions, but does anyone have advice?

please plan your time

Keep Working

You are being measured during times of trial Erin so don't give up. You need to direct focus and ensure that you are working for the LORD, paryer is key. Pray in the morning, pray at night, pray about everything. The lord will bless you, he always does.
 
Greetings Erin,

Bless you for your consideration about serving the Lord with all your life.

Can I suggest that you ask the pastor who rang you, to pray with you about it. He needs to do the pastor bit and tend to the flock he has been entrusted with, so the best place to start is with prayer, coming together with the Lord and seeking Him together for His will and glory.
There are all sorts of other things that could be said, but without praying with the pastor who you will be, and are already working with, all other suggestions I can think of are pointless.

As for feeling dry.... well, you know who to go to for the living water, Jesus Christ the Lord. Just asking about it is a wonderful step to Him... just follow it with another step, and keep entering His presence with prayer and thanksgiving... and praise... for He is the Lord who orders your steps for you.... and just as you love Him , He so much loves you and wants you to have His joy which never runs dry.

Bless you sister ....><>
