Hey all,
So here's the situation: God called me to a certain career that puts me, initially at least, in a passive position. I'm 100% sure of the calling, for there have been too many confirmations over too long a period of time, and I understand that where He calls, He will provide, but I've reached a point where I must go out and pay my debts (fresh uni grad, you get the drill). Yet whenever I even tweak my resume or look at job postings I get this extreme sense of unease, almost as though I'm distrusting God or something; the same unease I experience when I find myself unwittingly in sin.

Don't get me wrong - He's provided thus far, but I'm in a situation where I absolutely need to move for stability, and it appears He's telling me to wait. I'm worried out of my wits because debt won't solve itself. Still it seems I'm being told to wait. I've prayed and prayed and every single time I get the same answer. I trust Him, but weariness adds up, and I don't know if I can take it anymore.

Anyone been in the same position that can give some advice?

One thing is for certain: You need money.

Well, if your health is good I would recommend a 24 hour water only, with prayer of course, fast. No one can really lead you on this but the Holy Spirit.

Alright, I'll try that. Thanks for the advice :)
I'm just a little unsure because in this case, He's giving me exactly what I want, which honestly seems too good to be true whenever I think about it.
