What exactly does it mean to have patience in God's plan for you? when I got home from my mission I had no Idea what I wanted to go into with my education or career wise. I asked for the blessing. In that blessing I was told to "if I do everything I'm suppose to and have patience in God's plan everything will work out." I feel like Ive done everything. I go to church, have a current recommend, I do all I can to serve others (at least I try to ) and I try to fulfill my calling to the best of my ability. It's been 6 years since that blessings, I have asked for other since then but its just the same blessing over and over again. The only thing different is the blessing say "God has a lot of blessings waiting for you." I really don't know what else to do. I haven't really noticed any changes in my life at all. in fact I have had a lot more negative stuff happen over the last 6 years. For example I have torn my ACL, suffered six concussions, tore my Achilles tenant, tore my rotator cuff, tore my munches, and lost my job. I still have no idea what I am doing in college and I struggle to stay motivated to finish my assignments.
I just don't get it really. We are told in Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
But it really feels like: Ask, and it MIGHT be given you; seek, and ye MIGHT find; knock, and wait in the rain for hours, maybe days, maybe month, and possibly years then it MIGHT open unto you.
Yes I know Faith is believing in things not seen but are true, but are we meant to walk around our whole life blind then?
What exactly are we suppose to have patience for? I feel like I am doing everything I am suppose to do, but I am still getting no direction. I know I am not suppose to look for some star to fall from heaven but I am still told to have patience. I just don't know what I am having patience for. God says he knows me and loves me better than anyone else, but I don't see him trying to help me at all. Do you guys have any advice?
