Follow your heart... for God IS your heart.
Doubt is unavoidable in this physical plain of existence, for it creates much limitation on what we perceive we can do. This limitation is caused by our mind, but can also be dissolved by the same mind. Yet, we must allow our heart to rule that mind, and not our mental ego.
The heart knows only love, and will always know the right thing to say, and to do. All you have to do is follow your heart, with patience, and let it guide you on each moment of your life.
There is a quote that says, "Success is about a happy life, and a happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people do not allow the happy moments because they are so busy trying to get a happy life."
If this hits home at all, take some time out to notice each passing moment. I bet your heart is trying to tell you something in each of those moments.
Sometimes it tells you to be still and listen, while sometimes it will tell you to get up and dance. Don't be afraid to BE everything your heart desires.
And remember always... you ARE Loved! =)

It's a peculiar thing you bring up. Some people believe that God already knows everything they're ever going to do, but they also believe they have free will. If God already knows, then free will is moot, isn't it? Or is it? You can choose your sexuality. You can choose to have an abortion. The Bible weighs in on these things in very blunt, unforgiving language in the Old Testament. Get into the New Testament, however, and things get a little murky. Jesus was rather less discriminating, saying that anybody who wanted God's forgiveness need only ask for it. Abortions and gay relationships and whatnot do not enter into the equation at that point. Are you screwed? By whom? You can choose the path you follow. If anyone is doing the screwing, it's you. And you're only screwed if you're dissatisfied with the choice you've made. The great part about that is you can choose again, and again, until you finally find the belief structure and rationale that suits you. Good luck with it.

As long as you love Him and try to be the best person you can be, you should try not to worry.
Since worrying is not a necessary part of a believer's life, how does one overcome worry? Let's see what God has to say about this matter. In 1 Peter 5:7, we are instructed, "cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." God does not want us to carry around the weight of problems and burdens. In this Scripture, God is telling us to give Him all of our worries and concerns. Why does God want to take on our problems? The Bible says because He cares for you. That's right, YOU. God is concerned about everything that happens to you. No worry is too big or small for His attention. When we give God our problems, He promises to give us His peace which surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Your question is really not all that clear.
Questioning is not a bad thing... Without seeking to understand the truth you cannot have a foundation in understanding... and without a foundation you will be too easily shaken.
Worry is not good... as it doesn't help to solve the problem and it doesn't help you to deal with problems... it just adds problems.
As the old AA saying goes, "God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference."
What is in your power to do, do... learn to not stress out over the things that you cannot.

You don't know all the choices you will make in life. God does.
That's not predetermining your future, its just God doing his thing and knowing the whole of the universe - past, present and future.
It is better to take it up with God than to just "leave it to God". If you want something in life, ask God in prayer. If it will bring you closer to him, he often answers that prayer with a "yes".

Like a good parent, God has set the rules for the house. What one can and can't do and what is the punishment or reward for the path one choses. He provides council in making good choices.
The choosing is up to each of us. Every day we make those choices--left or right, up or down, do it or don't do it, there is no try. This is what is meant by free will. God hopes as every parent hopes. That each child makes good choices. They cannot do it for us.

Do not leave things up to God to take care of, the backlog of things to do is way to long :). You are responsible for your life, take charge of it. Life is about living it to the fullest and you have to understand that although things happen to you that you have no control over , you are responsible for how you respond. By taking control you can control the course of your life. You have choices everyday.

Leaving things up to God... means trusting him that all things will work out for your good.
We DO have some control over our own lives, and it's important to self-direct... It's through inner feelings that we can come to know what God wants us to do... but he doesn't want to make our decisions for us.
We determine our own lives (within practical limitations) and God wants to see what we will choose to do with our lives.
When God knows you want to do his will, then you can trust that everything will work out for the best.
(See Romans 8:28 - http://scriptures.lds.org/en/rom/8/28#28 )

I think everyone feels this way...I know I sure do...no you should NOT worry...I think our
destiny is clear...I leave things to GOD that
I just can't handle any more...and it always turns out right...God doesn't want us to suffer here...that's why you need to trust him
I must remember this too...sometimes you just try to figure things out and get very stressed...give this problem to God, that's what he wants us to do...We are his children, and he wants us to be happy...
don't stress about things...
Give these things to GOD to answer.

i whole heartedly believe all things happen for a reason. if your into fate, then try to relax and let your life happen. make changes if you're not happy-you only have one chance at life so get it right.
