Ron's in a tricky situation regarding his career path, and figuring out the will of God for his life, and he's wondering if you can help him make sense of it all...

For the past 10 years Ron has been working in an office job. It's been fun, he's made good friendships, and it's paid the bills, but he's never been fully satisfied by the work. Now, he's reached the point where he just has to change. 

Ron is very much a people person and for a long time has had his heart set on working in the aged care industry - helping and working with elderly folk. But it seems that every door he's knocked on in that area, stays shut.

For several months now he's been sending out resumes, searching online for jobs, and feeling like he's getting nowhere. Ron's a Christian and so he's been praying for guidance and God's help in getting him a breakthrough.

It's now got to the point where he's wondering if God has already answered his prayer, and if the answer is "No, Go Back, Wrong Way". Is God keeping those doors shut for a reason?

And if so, how does he find a door and a direction that God will open for him? Give us your thoughts...

• How long do you keep trying to reach your dream goal?

• When do you know if God is closing the door on that dream, and that it's time to give up, or put it on the shelf for another day?
 
• And what about Free Will? Ron knows that God has given him a free will but also has submitted his life to God's guiding and believes that God may have a plan in mind for his job... How should he balance these two things?

• Ron's been finding it quite confusing, especially when everyone around him seems to have a different opinion on what he should do and what God's will might be.

• Ron's not so much looking for career advice, but more spiritual advice - on how to know when God is saying yes, wait, or no - to a specific goal you have in mind.

• If you had a similar experience of seeking after a certain dream, how did you find that God helped you in guiding the process? Did he shut the door, or perhaps open another door you didn't expect?
