On figuring myself out...

"A thousand times I've failed, but still your mercy remains." 
Does your happiness come from other unimportant people, or the people that love you unconditionally? 
Does over editing your selfies define you or does God's love for you define who you are? 
Does your happiness based on Double Stuffed Oreos and lemonade or does it rely on turning your heart to the One who made everything?
Does your personal joy come from Jesus Christ and His Holy Name or your negativity from your insecurities?
Does your strength rely on the hundreds of YouTube videos you watch or does it rely on the quiet times you have within? 
Does your self-esteem come from being beautiful in God's eyes or does it break down when others judge you and you worry too much?
Does your positivity come from scrolling on Twitter or does it come from praying to Our God?
Does your motivation come from your cell phone or really listening to your friends? 
Does your nervousness come from your late night thoughts when you can't shut your brain off thinking of earthly things or does your peace come from having a relationship with the One that created you? 
Do I want to continue to do Young Life in college or do I want to put my focus on something else?
Does your satisfaction come from text messages coming across your screen or sitting in church worshiping Jesus?
Does believing help you with everything or would you be the same plain and with nothing? 

I need to find where my heart is, where it has been and where it will be in the future. I need to let go of the past and figure out the future. Yes, I think God will provide but I have my whole future ahead of me I need to get ready for. I'm going to struggle in college I know it. I have never been in a school so large. I'm going to need to change my attitude again and I'm not ready for that jump. I need to find the answers to those questions. I need help, God. I fail constantly, I'm confused and lost and broken and I don't know what to do with my life. But, Jesus, You make my heart peaceful.
