God, being a magician, is far better at misdirection; take his advice, but if he offers you a hanky forget about it!

Mine's broken too....ha ha ha Try to meditate....it helps to calm your mind down and you can think more clearly on issues. I try to do this in the evenings after I get home from work and I'm all comfy. Light up some incense and enjoy!! After awhile you will begin to see the affects in your everyday life and you will actually start to look forward to these 20 minute "quiet" times. Maybe after all is said and done, you will have come to some conclusion as to what you are meant to do in this world....it doesn't necessarily have to be anything earth shattering...it could just be volunteering for a cause that you are interested in or maybe it does pertain to a decision you must make fairly soon but I guarantee that if you resign yourself to "no mind" every day for at least 20 minutes you will eventually feel more relaxed and confident in your life! It even helps to do some reading up on Buddhism, Zen, etc....there are a lot of helpful hints in the way they live their lives...I'm Catholic but I believe in a lot of Buddhist way of thinking....in other words, it doesn't hurt to explore a little.
Good Luck!!!!

Well that depends on if your faith lies with God or not!
For me yes he has given me direction in life, all you have to do is pray and ask for direction. Now he is not going to just pop out of no where and show you the way that would be way to easy. Just keep and open mind and an open heart. Keep looking for signs He will give them to you!

Yes, unfortunately he may not do it in the way you want or as fast as you want. Have you ever heard the old saying "God works in mysterious ways"? It's true, Just by asking this question you are showing you're ready to get on the right track but I'll be honest and say it might be a long haul.

Yes, he will you need to trust him and turn your problems over to him to resolve. I not only broke my compass I through the compass away, he found me when I was absolutely lost and put me back on a great path. You just need to believe!

No. Your broken compass will give you more direction than a nonexistent.

Your compass is not broken. The magnet has moved.

Stop looking for man to give you the answer and reveal God to you. God is the only one who can repair your compass. ;-)

He most definitely will ...... without a doubt !
But it will require a couple of thing from us,..........(have you ever met people on your street, building, workplace, You knew they were there but, you didn't know there name or very little about them.... But deep down they looked and seemed like cool people and you had this little bit of a desire to want to hang around them n get to know them ? ) he wants us, to have a relationship with him, so I always believe we must get to kno who he is, what his characteristics are, and basically find out as much as we can about him.. So, two basic things to do, when seeking direction,( and i must add that there is no formula and its not always gonna be easy ) reading the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, BIBLE, book, and praying, as much as your lovely heart desires.............................Amen !

I take my directions from Ray Krock.
He sends me secret messages from the grave wrapped in two all beef patties.
God rhetoric is for lunatics, like Steven Baldwin.
"I'm a Jewish born-again Christian."
Crazy talk I am sticking to the "Creed Of Krock", would you like fries with your coke.?

Well God himself may not stretch forth his hand and say "DIRECTED", but his word, aka the Bible, will help you. Remember he's not a force shield so bad things still will happen, thats life. But the Bible can help you to deal with problems.
