Job Search and Career Transitions

I'm navigating a pretty challenging job search right now. I’ve applied to at least 25 positions over the last couple of months, and I’m starting to feel a bit defeated. I felt hopeful about a few interviews, but they didn’t lead anywhere. It’s hard not to take it personally. I know each rejection is not a reflection of my worth, but the stress is weighing on me. Honestly, I’m grappling with what my calling is at this point in my life. I thought I had a clear path, but now it’s feeling a bit blurry. On top of the job hunting, there’s a lot of pressure at home. I’m trying to stay positive for my family, but some days it’s hard to keep that up. I really want to find something that aligns with my skills and passions, but it’s tough to sift through the noise. I’m also feeling a bit isolated in this process, as I don't want to burden my friends with my worries. I'd appreciate prayers for clarity and encouragement as I navigate this uncertain time. For open doors to the right opportunities and for peace in my heart while I wait. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
