There\u2019s a lot of pressure on teenagers to know what they want to do in life. I\u2019m nearing the end of my junior year of high school, and college is often at the forefront of my mind. With so many decisions to makedecisions that have so much weight to themit\u2019s very easy to start feeling terrified. \u201cWhat if I make the wrong choice?\u201d \u201cWhat if this isn\u2019t what God wants for me?\u201d \u201cWhat if this ruins my life? \u201cWhat if, what if, what if?\u201d The problem is, there is no one correct choice. You can excel in a multitude of places. God can use you wherever you are. There\u2019s no pressure to find the school, the job, the exact blueprint for your life. Why? Because God is the One who knows the futurenot us. And the great news is, He has promised He will take care of His people. Even if you have no clue what your plan is in life (and even if you do!), God knows. He has always known how He would use you in His kingdom, and it will be something amazing and glorifying to Him. If you keep your eyes on Him and trust Him to lead you, you will find true peace no matter where He leads you and no matter what unknowns you face. Of course, that\u2019s easier said than done. I need to remind myself of these truths constantly. There are still times when worry is all I can think about. But God is in controlnot me. I rest in the fact that He only wants what\u2019s best for me, you, and everyone else who loves Him (Romans 8:28-29). That\u2019s His promise. Martalisa Fischer Read Matthew 10:29-31. How does this passage affect how we as Christians live? What peace can these truths bring us? Read Romans 8. What are some promises in Christ that can give us hope for the present and future? If you\u2019re struggling with a big decision, who are trusted peoplesuch as pastors, parents, counselors, or teachersyou could talk with as you make those choices? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
