Advice Corner | Failure

Loading player...
Hello,
I would like to seek your advice on my current situation. I feel like a
failure in life. Most of my friends got engaged, married or promoted
and I couldn't do any of these.
I feel like I missed something, I don't know what to do anymore or how
to be happy. Ever since university, I tried to study hard to get a good
job but I spend two years unemployed till i found one but my seniors
don't want to teach me anything they just tell me to adjust ms- word
documents or they explain something then I discover its wrong so they
can act like heroes and intervene to save the day and put me aside.
I spent 4 years studying electrical engineering to fill out ms-word
documents! 
I tried to find another job, but I couldn't get any. I reach the final stage
then they refuse me. My colleagues keeps getting promoted and travel
on the company expense and brag about getting extra money, all this
leaves me bitter.
I get extremely jealous when I hear about my friends or work
colleagues' accomplishments. At first, I used to be jealous then I was
able to move forward but recently I can't, I cry everyday and I can't
focus on anything anymore
I know that this is not productive but I can't help it. I feel very frustrated
and sad 
I just don't know what to do!

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit As Our Power

The early church had no budget, no buildings, and no social media, yet they turned the world upside down. Their secret? The Holy Spirit’s power (Acts 1:8). The Spirit equips us to witness, gives boldness, and strengthens us in weakness. Without Him, we burn out; with Him, we blaze.

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: He Will Guide Us

Life is full of decisions, and not every path is clear. The Holy Spirit guides us into truth (John 16:13) and leads us in practical steps. Without His direction, we risk walking by sight rather than faith. With Him, even the wilderness becomes a place of purpose.
