Ijust graduated recently and it just seems like my world is falling apart. Mentally I can't handle it. I can't find a job, my friends are leaving me hanging, my family is a catastrophe, and I just don't know what direction God is trying to pull me in. Why is everthing so cloudy to me. I feel so helpless no matter how much I try to pull myself up. What scriptures can I look at in the Bible for guidance? What kinds of prayers should I try so that I can ask God to get out of this mess. I am really not a bad young lady but it seems like things are just not moving forward for me.

I Corinthians 10:13 it tell me no matter how heavy the load God thinks I can handle it but if I cannot he will make a way of escape.
James 4:7 know that he is always tring to get you away from God even just the tinyest steps backward please him.
1 Cor 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion so don't let the devil trick you.
Hope this helps

Let me look.
1. Matt 6:25
2. Mark 4:35-41 It was Jesus' idea to go across the lake in the first place. He knew what would happen. In the same way, Jesus is not asleep in your life. He knows exactly what you are going through, have some faith.
3. Jeremiah 29:11
4. Isaiah 40:28-31
5. Isaiah 49:14-16
There are so many more. I will only say this. Don't ever doubt that God knows exactly what He wants you to do. He may simply be preparing you for some other task He wants you to do. All you have to do is pray. Pray that He will align your will with His, and trust that He will do it. Then you will never have to worry about ANYTHING!

"What kinds of prayers should I try so that I can ask God to get out of this mess."
You can pray a prayer like this "Dear Lord, I know that you have a plan for my life but right now it's hard for me to trust you because I'm looking at all of my circumstances and wondering how and when You are going to come through for me.
Give me the grace and patience and hope that I need to see me through this season. Shut every door that you would have me to stay away from and guide and provide for me all that I need to stay strong in the faith as you prepare me for the door of opportunity that you have waiting for me at the time of your choosing.
Let me seek first your Kingdom and your righteousness knowing that Jesus said that you will provide for all of my needs and help me to keep my focus on you and not worry about tomorrow, in Jesus' name I pray. Thank you Father".
Matthew 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Revelation 3:8 "'I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
