plz don't be mean. this is a very seriuos question...and i am not a lunny.
how do u deal with a situation in which things are not going the way you thought they would, but you have also received signs that confirmed to u to persevere in that same direction? how do u deal with the stress, the pain, and the DOUBT? how do u keep ur faith when current reality is very likely to create doubt and despair?

it looks like i need to follow a certain path (and plz don't question this bcoz it is a long story..), but bcoz the current circumstances are not what i thought they would be when i started, i am feeling very doubtful and suffering from despair!

it also seems i am addicted to doubt! :/
don't know how to deal with it bcoz when i actually see things in reality that contradict what i have in mind, the pain is so bad...i feel bad for doubting, especially when there have been signs...

IF you are going to committ to a direction, I can only say to clear your mind of anything that is to the contrary. If you keep your mind focused contrarily to how you are currently moving, you will sabotage yourself. If you choose to continue along the path, then you must constantly reinforce your mind with positive words and pictures. The doubt will not cease. IT is an enemy to overcome and THIS fight is NOT for the faint of heart. You will be slain if you come with a weak heart and it would be better than you turn back now if you are going to ALLOW doubt. We are talking about INTENTIONAL creation. This field is for the God and if you are not willing to put forth the Work in proving your Faith, so-called Clear signs, then get off the field so the Big Boys can play.
I do not mean to be so terse, but this is the Reality of it. If you choose to Go forward, you must be willing to get whatever results may come, but at the same time, you influence your reality and your results with YOUR MIND. The substance of things hoped for is THOUGHT.
ALL THINGS are made of THOUGHT.
So if you continue to Clothe your manifestations in DOUBT, then you will make your situation worse.
FAITH, when used correctly is called SCIENCE.

Uhm if it has to do with problems with your walk with God,
Then the only thing you should do is
Get down on your knees and pray, and tell him all your problems, ask him to be with you, and ask him to help you lead you to the right path.
It may seem like your prayers are not being heard,
But he's always listening to you.
And this PAIN may last for days, months, or even many many years.
But this could all be a test from him.
To really test your faith,
and see what you would do if things didn't go right,
And you may not FEEL him with you.
But remember its FAITH not FEELINGS that pleases God.

Haha sorry if that didn't answer anything, I can't figure out what you're asking!

Honey, we need a lot more details - sorry. Is this a person you're going to marry? What signs are you getting? Is this about a job? About a move? Losing faith in god? All these situations are very different and require different advice.

Living that right now. Natural eyes see one thing- prophecies and words have said something else.
I don't know what to do except keep on doing the best I can do, and trust in God that the promises He has given, and the prophecies spoken over us will be fulfilled in the proper time. I don't need to understand everything. I do need to learn to be faithful in all situations.
The test is often the waiting- it is in the waiting that our obedience is tested. It is in the waiting that our faith is tested. It is in the waiting that all of our rebellion, our anger, our unfaithfulness, our doubts about God come to the surface, where they can be dealt with, and we can be purified and become more like Jesus.
Trust in God, and be faithful to Him. He will bring His will to pass in His time, and you will find your place of blessing and honor. Trust in God, for He is good, and His love endures forever.

Perhaps your vision was not as clear as you thought it was. Perhaps you doubts are causing the disparity.
Maybe it's your thinking and expectations that need to change.
Spend some time in meditation. Check to see if perhaps you are not headed in the direction you originally intended, or that you are intended to go today.
Maybe you are trying to force things, rather than letting them work out as they should.

the 'signs' you received are from god?this must line up with scripture of the bible.you can be tricked,thats why we have gods word to compare ,if it doesn't line up with scripture then it's not of god.remember the devil can mask as an angel of light.your 'feelings' can mislead you. trust god NOT your feelings,or friends,family.
