where do i go now, Lord?

Lord... I'm at a point in my life where I'm choosing where to go. I wish to go overseas to study so as to increase my exposure, and to get better experience for my career in the future. But Lord you know how much I wish also to be able to spend time with my family. Lord, I feel so helpless and overwhelmed by the sheer number of universities available in the United States alone, I have no idea which to pick!

But Lord, you have said, that "A man's heart deviseth his way, but the Lord directeth his steps." (Proverbs 16:9)

Lord help me to earnestly seek you and to seek your will for me in this matter, for I do not wish to lean to either extreme. I don't want to do so much research and strive so hard to find out what and where to study, that I risk totally depending on myself, and totally not following You. Neither do I want to adopt a totally laissez-faire attitude and settle for something mediocre, which I believe would be contrary to what you would want me to do. For through the Proverbs of Solomon, you warned against sloth and encouraged us to work hard and give our best to you. "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways, and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stoeres its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest." (Proverbs 6:6-8)

Lord, help me to walk in the path that you have laid out for me. I cannot make this journey alone. Help me to trust in you, so that I can walk in the path of wisdom, as Solomon instructed through your Word, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5).

You know my anxieties. You know my fears. You know everything about me, everything I've ever done, everything I ever will do. Lord help me to trust you more than I trust myself.

Help me Lord.
