HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS

We’ve all heard about the mid-life crisis, but today, many young adults experience a crisis well before that: the quarter-life crisis. It’s the scary stage of planning for one’s impending adulthood before finishing college or when the realities of permanently and officially entering the real world start to sink in.

For me, my quarter-life crisis started when I began to internalize my self-doubts and insecurities about my future. The more I believed the doubts, the worse it became. I worried more and more about my future and began asking loaded questions, like “What will my career look like? Where will I live (and will that still be with my parents)? What will I do if I lack finances? And what happens if I fail?”

If you’ve been asking similar questions lately, and you’re feeling anxiety, uncertainty, difficulty making decisions, and fear of failure, you have officially entered your quarter-life crisis.

Though you may be in the midst of crippling worries about the future, the good news is that as Christians, we have a very committed friend who is always there for us: God, our dear heavenly father.

While this loving father of ours has great plans for us, he is selective on when to reveal those plans, and sometimes it may feel like he is waiting until the last minute to disclose his master blueprint for our lives. This situation tends to be very inconvenient when you are in the middle of figuring out the path he has set for you. It’s worse when everyone asks what you plan on doing with your life. “I don’t know!” we want to scream. “He hasn’t clued me in on that yet!”

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS - New Identity Magazine

The longer this question goes unanswered, the more we stress. Without realizing it, we begin to become impatient with God, the one who has given everything to us and truly loves us unconditionally. Don’t blame him just yet; we simply aren’t ready for the whole plan.

SYMPTOMS OF A QUARTER–LIFE CRISIS

Feeling Anxiety

fear or nervousness about what might happen

Feeling the need to control our lives and having a desire to plan where we’d like our lives to go is not uncommon. Mariah, a female Panamanian, Dominican junior undergraduate student shares her desire for control:

“My number one struggle in life is control. When I feel stressed about life or college, my anxiety can leave me on edge for hours or days. … For me, it’s hard to relinquish all my worries to God. Why would he care about something as little as an exam when there are orphaned children or diseases to cure? But I realize my mistake in putting a big God in a small box. I wasn’t trusting God to pull through in every area of my life. But I have felt the difference of sharing my burden and letting God take care of me. It’s crazy to think that change can happen through letting go and giving God the ‘little things’.”

At the core we all struggle to trust in God’s goodness and faithfulness for our lives. This lack of trust leads to anxiety because we know deep down that we do not have real control and we cannot possibly plan every situation or prepare for every scenario. In Matthew 6:25-34 ESV Jesus says: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” This verse is helpful in reminding us to put our lives in perspective, not be so caught up in the details, and to look at the bigger picture. While God does care about us in every detail, he doesn’t give us the whole blueprint of our lives because he wants us to walk in faith with him. God wants to be at the center of our lives and life decisions. While the uncertainty can be unceasing, God has given us every reason to trust him. Repeatedly through stories in the Old and New Testament, he has come to our rescue and constantly extended grace (i.e. Jesus dying on the cross in order to forgive our sins and give us an eternal future in relationship with him is the ultimate fulfillment of this).

Desiring Control

Wanting to personally decide the outcome of our lives

Understandably, our human minds have a hard time relinquishing control to someone we can’t see or touch. Yet, as Mariah put it, he has and will continue to take care of us. So “Cast all your anxiety on him because [God] cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7 NIV). God has something in store for us and we aren’t always clued in as to what that is. He wants us to fully trust him and the plan he has for our lives. When the enemy sees us struggling to fully trust God, he becomes that little voice in our head trying to fill us with doubt. It is our job to not believe those lies, but to believe in God, who only wants the best for us.

Alexandra, a female Puerto Rican senior undergraduate student is a natural born planner and likes having a system in place to arrange a positive outcome:

“I’m a natural-born planner so coming into college I had plans for my life. During my first few years in college, God so graciously and lovingly began to alter those plans. Before I knew it all my selfish desire was gone, and all that I longed for was for his will to be done. Though I didn’t know where I was going to go, I was willing. That’s a scary thing to say to God because he will take your word for it and he did just that. … I wrestled with God because I felt he was withholding information from me, keeping me out of the loop from my own life plans which was horrifying for me as a planner. I wondered if he even had my best interest at heart because the waiting period seemed miserable and hopeless … I soon learned that this waiting and listening period was only difficult because I was not trusting in God’s promises for my life … It took a lot of prayer, counsel from trusted people, and courage to take a step of faith into the unknown with God.”

Distrusting God’s Plan

Thinking that our life goals are more important that God’s plans for us

From Alexandra’s wise words, seek prayer and counsel when we are faced with anxiety about our future. Our community and support from others with practice on relying on God will help keep us on the right path of continuing to trust God despite the unknown and difficult road blocks or challenging circumstances. Have faith in God and wait on his timing for details to be revealed about our future. Sunny, a male South Asian junior undergraduate student, has experience in trusting God in his life that we can learn from:

“I have a lack of worry for my life when I graduate—not because I have everything figured out, but I trust in the one that does. I have many different options, and truth be told it can be overwhelming. I find hope in knowing that whatever path God calls me to, I can still be used to shine light on others. My main calling above any job is to be an ambassador of Christ, and I have faith God will always provide for me regardless of what happens.”

Sunny is wise to realize that he doesn’t need to have everything figured out in order to trust God. Being in a place of uncertainty is sometimes the best time to lean on God for guidance and reassurance.

Being Uncomfortable With Change

Unprepared for results different from what we expect

A lot of the time we place a perfect picture in our mind of our future. Unfortunately our minds are often faulty, because we usually don’t know ourselves as well as we think we do. Jarumi, a black male junior undergraduate student says:

“All throughout high school I planned on playing professional soccer and majoring in computer science. … However later on, through a series of events, the passion of soccer faded away, and I was left to really evaluate what I will be doing with my life. During that time, I began to learn about myself—how I was a natural leader, my love for ministry, and how I loved to be creative whether it be in poetry, photography or video production. As time moved on, my love for computer science grew. How would I know I would be happy in whatever career I choose all while glorifying God? At Urbana [an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Conference], God revealed that answer… And he told me not to worry about how [it] would tie together, or if I will enjoy what I do, but just to trust him and be patient. And if he can speak the world into existence than I, myself, have nothing to worry about. All I need to do is follow his will, and rest in his love, wisdom and hope…And through my faith in God, I know that those hopes and dreams will come about.”

Through change, God is with us. College is known to be a time of trial and error. Changing your major once or twice is to be expected, but that does not make the experience any less daunting. Like Jarumi, we need to submit ourselves to God and give these decisions to him.

Doubting God’s Will & Our Giftings

Having no confidence in ourselves or in God’s path for us

We all have doubts about our future, especially when we face failure. Yet, we forget that we are in a time in our lives where we are learning: learning about our career path, learning about ourselves, learning about God. We are apprentices and we will make mistakes, but we will learn from them and improve. God does not expect us to have all the answers. Like Kimberly says, a female Mexican junior undergraduate student, he just wants us to have faith in the good that will come of doubt or struggle:

“Putting my trust in God to lead me to where I am meant to be is truly a leap of faith—one that is sometimes unfathomable for me as a Pre-Med student who should have things organized and planned out in order to position myself for the greatest opportunities. Yet, I struggle to be excellent and my plans fall through time after time, which makes me wonder: Am I forcing myself to do my own will, not his? If there aren’t bright fluorescent signs pointing me to the next step, how does he expect me not to be anxious and dubious when I can’t know for certain I’m going down the right path? I drown in stress and anxiety, fearful about moving on. But then I remember: Jesus calmed the roaring waters and stilled the fiercest winds (Mark 4:35-41). He is not asking me to make it through alone and unequipped, all he wants is for me to have faith.”

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS - New Identity Magazine

James 1:6 says, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind” (ESV). Our doubts make us uneasy, and make us fear the life ahead of us. God does not want us to live in this place of anxiety. I have struggled in this very area myself, but as my college career comes to its final chapter, my only option is to rest in God’s love, grace, and wisdom and to know that he will not lead me astray.

If you have been feeling any of the above symptoms, let me reassure you that you are not the only one. Most other twenty-somethings are struggling alongside you. Whether it is deciding to go into ministry, choosing a profession, choosing where to live, or who to love, we hope for God to give us the green light or at least a sign on which path to take, but most of the time it takes blind faith (Hebrews 11:1) that God will be with us in whatever results our choices bring and guide us in our decision-making through prayer. As Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages, “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.” Any direction we take, God will still be with us.

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it th “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” – Haldir⁠
🍁⁠
In Lothlorien, Haldir is encouraging a downcast Fellowship with a glimpse of the larger story in which they find themselves. His words reflect the apostle Paul’s encouragement to the church, that we “do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope” (1 Thess. 4:13). For there is a form of grief from which there is no recovery – one in which there is no resurrection of the dead. If death is the final word, then we must suffer grief without hope, grief that diminishes our love for life because of the crushing weight of the loss we’ve experienced. But Tolkien believed that death was not the end; therefore, we may experience the beautiful juxtaposition in our own lives of deep sorrow mixed with rivers of joy. Instead of crippling us, our grief may actually help to cultivate in our character the virtues of faith, hope, and love that are necessary to continue to carry our heaviest burdens. ⁠

The Bible stresses that despite our differences we The Bible stresses that despite our differences we are called to love each other above our political positions. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:12-14). You may feel like how politics and religion intersect in the public sphere communicate the exact opposite of this, and you’d be right. Media outlets report drama and conflict. Gracious and loving political opponents are not newsworthy.⁠

The trees, with their bark, the skin of the forest The trees, with their bark, the skin of the forest, with its scars and wrinkles, lean toward me, and brush me with their limbs. The leaves beg me to examine their veins. “Have you seen this?” Each different, but each spectacular. The infinite busy creatures. The carpet of green, the dome of blue.⁠
.⁠
A few moments later, I feel like an amazing creature in a world amazingly made. I feel the astounding power of God, where the smallest thing around me, a leaf, an ant, is more complicated, and alive and amazing than anything humanity has ever thought of.⁠

Really, there is nothing like it. The author C.S. Lewis noted that the best place to take a non-believing scientist or a real thinker is nature.  Eventually the noise of God in nature is deafening.⁠
.⁠
Once you’re in that place, just a few minutes into your walk, your mouth will hardly be able to keep from pouring out praise to God. It becomes so easy. Connecting to God like that, in praise, as a consequence of observing nature, is so freeing and so empowering that you will return to your office balanced and ready, clear headed and encouraged.⁠
.⁠
The prayer that most blesses God, most blesses the one who prays it. And there is almost no easier way than from within the sanctuary of nature, which itself raises up its branches to him in prayer with every sunrise.⁠

Each person comes to a Bible passage with his own Each person comes to a Bible passage with his own culture, language, and historical understanding. Sometimes we use these to interpret the Bible, but the hard work of bible study requires that you get rid of those things and interpret the passage by allowing it to speak for itself in its own language, cultural context, and historical background. In other words, interpretation is hard work because you are trying to to discover what the passage meant to its (original) audience 2000 years ago (even though we are reading it today). ⁠

Everything we do should be done for the ultimate e Everything we do should be done for the ultimate enjoyment of God. For instance, our enjoyment of a loving relationship with our spouse is a reflection of our relationship with God, and is therefore something God uses in order for us to better understand his love and how we can love him better.⁠
🌱⁠
This entails that God has given us the Bible as a means to an end. The point of reading the Bible is to come to enjoy God better and more fully. It might seem odd, or even a little sacrilege to think of the Bible as a means to an end. This is because we rightly think of the Bible as holy or sacred. But, it is not God. It is holy and sacred insofar as it is the word of God, given to us so we can better understand who God is. ⁠
🌱⁠
By reading Scripture we learn more about God, his work in the world, his plan for us, and his expectations for us. This is one of the means God has provided for us to enjoy him more. In fact, St. Augustine of Hippo believed that if a Christian could hypothetically enjoy God perfectly in this life, that they would no longer need to read the Bible. Of course because we will not come to love God perfectly in this life, reading, meditating on, and yes, memorizing scripture, will regularly be a source of knowledge that help us to love God more. However, Augustine wants his readers to remember, that knowledge is not the goal for reading the Bible.⁠

People with unbelieving hearts only seek after wha People with unbelieving hearts only seek after what prospers them. Apart from Jesus, we set in motion lives filled with harm, with no hope and no future. A person can only have hope and a future when life is lived out for Christ. We get light through reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians. This light of life can be obtained through an open line of communication with the one who gives it—Jesus. Apart from him, life can appear meaningless. Our purpose in life is to glorify God with who we are and what we have. –Steven Butwell⁠

God is not only our savior, comforter, and friend who promises to be with us always (Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20), but also the most powerful being in the universe. There is a place for the right kind of fear—the reverential awe and respect—in our lives.⁠

Like the Psalmist, John describes Jesus as God’s Like the Psalmist, John describes Jesus as God’s Word who brings light and life to the darkness. Jesus is God’s Word that comes to us, to those who are dwelling in darkness. In fact, this is exactly what Jesus declares his mission to be in John 12:46: “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” This Light and Darkness imagery pervades the gospel of John. People love darkness because they don’t want their actions, thoughts, motives to be exposed by the light. But the truth is that deep down we need (and want) to be seen. We want to be loved despite our dirtiest deeds and foulest feelings. We need to restore the relationship that Adam and Eve once had with God–complete openness, and deep love–but we can’t do it on our own. Only God can (and did through Jesus) bring that relationship back.⁠

In John 15:1 Jesus says that God is the gardener a In John 15:1 Jesus says that God is the gardener and he prunes every branch that does not produce fruit. A person stuck in his or her ways of sin is like a prickly shrub growing a lot of branches with no fruit. These branches must be removed so good fruit can grow. In the same way as a bush is unable to prune itself, a person who is living in sin is unable to remove all the unfruitful branches in life. Paul described this condition in chapter seven of Romans when he called himself a wretched man and realized only Jesus can change him.⁠
-⁠
Jesus provides the essential elements for growth; he gives us his Word (the Bible) for fertilizer, other believers for sunshine, and the Holy Spirit for water. When our roots begin to receive this new water, sunshine, and fertilizer, new branches begin to grow. This time the branches are not prickly bushes, but beautiful new branches adorned with the fruit of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control,” (Galatians 5:22). Our old acquaintances will marvel at who we have become. When we allow God to be the gardener, he will shape us into his design.⁠

We are faced with a challenge: to make God the cen We are faced with a challenge: to make God the center and purpose of our lives in a world of demands. God asks us to listen for his voice, and it’s no wonder why he chose to speak to Elijah in a “still, small voice” in 1 Kings 19:12-13. He doesn’t always shout at us because he wants us to choose to listen, to put other things aside so that all of our focus is towards discerning his will in the specifics of our lives. We have his will for us in general, as communicated in the Bible, which is to make disciples of all nations, to glorify the one true God, to serve no other gods, to love our neighbors as ourselves, etc., but sometimes we need to figure out how those general plans fit the specifics of our lives. Hearing God’s voice is part of how we relate to him, but in those moments of uncertainty, quieting ourselves becomes even more important.⁠

“Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors “Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keepin’ me awake. I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it’s gonna take. A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make.” ⁠

As P.T. Barnum sings these words to Charity in the beautiful montage of their young lives, we are captivated by the hope that they share, the possibilities of their bright future, and the chance of their love overcoming the wall between privilege and poverty that keeps them apart. The Greatest Showman asks us to wrestle with the quest for the holy grail of our modern world: success and happiness. ⁠
What is the good life? If a million of our wildest dreams came true, would we truly be happy?⁠
⁠
In Jesus, we find a man who invites us into his presence with these words: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He is the only one who can fill “the infinite abyss” of desire in our souls. When you have fully devoted yourself and your dreams to your Creator, you will discover that “everything you ever want” and “everything you ever need” is “right here in front of you” in Christ Jesus.⁠

What do these numbers have to do with each other? A lot, according to the One Cup Project, which is using America’s love for coffee to reduce the number of children dying in Africa by converting coffee profits into life-saving aid.⁠
⁠
The One Cup Project started in 2010, when Christian Kar, the founder of an award-winning Seattle-based coffee company, partnered with the Christian humanitarian aid organization, World Vision.Remarkably, every dollar spent on One Cup Coffee generates a dollar of aid for Africa.⁠
⁠
Buy some coffee, put up a post on your Facebook page, ask your church, local café, or workplace to change their coffee, or run a One Cup Fundraiser. In doing so, you just may help hurting people find healing, hope, and life. Change the world for the better, one cup at a time.⁠

When someone accepts Jesus, they leave their old p When someone accepts Jesus, they leave their old priorities behind and make Jesus the center of their life. Jesus calls each of us to share the good news with the world. He came to give living water to a thirsty world, and we have the honor and privilege of sharing his message by the power of the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39).⁠
⁠
The most important thing you can do is enter each conversation with a posture of prayer. Pray for the person you’re sharing with, that God would open their heart to accept him. Pray that God would give you the words to say. And a loving way to say them.⁠
⁠
Expect God to work in your relationship and use you to share Jesus through your friendship in his own timing. No matter how long you have been a believer, you can share Jesus with the confidence that he is with you and that he will use you for his glory.⁠
