You Don't Have to Have It Figured Out by 25

Key Verse · Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
There's a particular flavor of panic that hits in your 20s, the feeling that there's a calendar somewhere with everyone else's life on it, and yours has fallen behind.
Scripture's word is path, not blueprint.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Straight isn't smooth. It means clear. As in, the next step is visible. Not the whole map.
Most of the people you admire didn't have it figured out by 25 either. They just kept taking the next step. The plan formed in motion.
If you're 23 and confused, you are exactly on schedule. The biblical way of finding your future is slower than your group chat thinks.
