I know I just posted another thread about other things, but I am in need of prayers for decision making. I am currently enrolled in community college. I am considering transferring to a different school to get an associate’s degree in veterinary technology. I am also considering joining the military, either as an animal care specialist or combat medic. I am a bit nervous about possibly joining and seeing combat (the situation with israel, iran, and the US has gotten tense due to the recent bus bombing and the other incident involving the navy fuel ship), but at the same time I don’t just wanna join in peacetime and work on some base. I am a female, but these days your gender does not preclude you from seeing combat. My brother is in the military, serving as an officer in the reserve corps. If I join, then the regulations might prohibit him and I from being deployed at the same time. I’m also wondering whether or not I’ll be eligible to join in the first place, for medical reasons.
 
My prayers are with you!

Prayer For God’s Guidance
Father in heaven, you made me Your child and call me to walk in the light of Christ. Free me from darkness and keep me in the light of Your truth. The light of Jesus has scattered the darkness of hatred and sin. Called to that light, I ask for Your guidance. Form my life in Your truth, my heart in Your love. Through the Holy Eucharist give me the power of Your grace that I may walk in the light of Jesus and serve Him faithfully.
Amen.
 
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Prayer by Thomas Merton.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Mother Mary, please help EqualinHim to discern God’s holy will for her. Help her to serve God no matter where she goes or what she does. May she trust in your maternal mediation and receive your powerful help. Amen.
