I need help. My life is at a point where something is going to happen. I have so many decisions to make and I just want to go and hide somewhere.....

It is just like a conversation with a loving Father... just talk to Him, give Him all your worries, ask Him to help you with your surcumstances, ask Him to guide you, read Him Word, believe- and trust Him.
You will save yourself allot of pain and headache if you put your trust in Christ...
trying to figure things out on your own can be very stressful...
here... read these...
"In his heart man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."- Proverbs 16:9, the Bible
"The Lord will guide you always."-Isaiah 58:11, the Bible
"Jesus said,' Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."- John 14:1, the Bible
God bless you and yours,
I'm praying for you,
God answers prayer, even when all is hopeless... He shows up
sincerly, a Christian

How beautiful it is that you know and accept you have decisions to make.
People ask God for directions in many ways.
1) Some believe position counts, prone or kneeling. I doubt God cares. He wants the person.
2) Some think certain words must be spoken. I doubt God cares. He wants to heart hear.
3) Some people read the Bible to learn God's language of peace, justice, and grace. The Psalms esp.23 and 121, and the Gospels are good places to start.
4) Some people ask God for Him to accept their directions. God is seldom keen on this idea.
5) Some people ask God for immediate answers. God reserves the right for a longer answer.
6) Some people pray for God to change other people. God tends toward changing the one praying.
7) Some people believe they need words. God also hears acts of mercy, work, love.
8) my favorite is the Lord's Prayer. After all, it is the one Jesus taught. It is inclusive and comforting. "Your will be done" and "Yours is the Kingdom" are the ones which challenge and comfort me. Wanting God's will to be done often overrides my agenda - always to my benefit.
God's peace be with you and go for the love.

Just take it to Him. There's a song that says, "After you've done all you can, you just stand." Talk to God, tell Him the things that you wish for. Sure He can give you the desires of your heart but as the Bible says, "You have not because you ask not." God knows what you're going through now all you have to do is put the situation or situations in his hands and let Him handle it without doubting Him. Sometimes He puts people in uncomfortable situations just to bring them out of a terrible scenario that they're in. I'll certainly pray for you and all that you're going through. I know that you will find direction. It may not be at the time or place you want for yourself, but God knows that it' the time and the place that's best for you.

First when you want help from a friend you call on them right? But you use there name so try using his (Psalms 83:18). I can't stress enough how much he wants to help us. POUR YOUR HEART OUT TO HIM IN PRAYER. Remember he promises us at Acts 2:21 that whoever calls on him will be saved. Saved from whatever seems to be pulling you down and overwhelming you.
Pray to him for help and then be willing to except that help when he gives it, even if it is not quite what you expected. You may be able to hide but your problems will still be with you, remember God never hides from us. First you have to let him help you, just trust him and talk to him, just as you would a trusted friend.
I wish you the best.

Ecclesiastes 11:9, "Rejoice, O young man [works for women too], in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your yourth; walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these God will bring you into judgment."
Ecclesiastes 11:5-6, "As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good."
Ecclesiastes 9:7, "Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works."
Relax. If you've got His best interests at heart, he already has yours. There will be challenges, but that will happen any way you go. You'll do fine.

Read his word, pray.
Go find a place where no boby will reach you, and you are cut off from mobile, internet, and start to pray for days. See if God will not answer you.
We need to be still and know him (Psalmist), however, in this busy society, fill with all kind of attention and noise, it is hard to be still and hear God.
God try. This is the way the early church father do it (and prohpet Elijah too), when they seek God.

You take some time alone. You talk to God and be direct. You pray. You be still. You read the Bible. Guidance comes through reading your Bible, through being still, through other people who are walking with and talking to God. I find that God always confirms His direction in several ways. If I'm ever unsure, I just ask, "God please help me to know what is from you and what isn't. Give me wisdom and the eyes to see the truth." God is faithful to answer that prayer.

You need to pray. Pray like you've never prayed in your life. Sometimes people think God should just make things happen for us because He's God and He knows what we want. But you have to ask for the things you want and for guidance in your life. Basically, I think God wants to know you really want it. If we got want we ask for just because we half-heartedly asked, we probably would live like we should. Dig down deep. I'm not saying you'll get what you want, but I believe you will get an answer.

Just ask for help in deciding whatever is going on in your life. Then listen to your heart for you will feel st rongly toward the right thing. Give it to God ans sit back. It does work if we can really give Himour life so He can lead us where He wants us. May God Bless you

I have felt that way many times! I just wanted to hide in my closet and hope that life would just go away or slow down long enough for me to catch my breath.
asking God for direction is easy as long as you are willing to accept the direction that he might present to you. it might not be the path that you would have picked out for yourself, but it will be the best in the end.
hang tight, don't give up and never lose faith! remember, faith isn't faith until it's all you are holding on to!
