| Hi, guys — I am currently studying medicine and am a
                                                                 little more then halfway through the program.  I have two more years before I graduate, however,
                                                                 recently I have had doubts about continuing
                                                                 in this profession; I've been second guessing
                                                                 my vocation to pursue medicine. My question is:  
                                                                 How I do know if I am following God's
                                                                      chosen calling for me or if satan is trying
                                                                      to confuse me and take me off of God's
                                                                      chosen path for my life?  I have talked to other students, and they
                                                                 said it's normal to question being in medicine
                                                                 because it's such a huge commitment. That said, how
                                                                 do I know if this is from: 
                                                                  God satan, orsomething else? When it doesn't come to
                                                                 sinning (i.e.: stealing, killing, etc) , . .  
                                                                 How does one know whether  it is:
                                                                      
                                                                            the Holy Spirit communicating with you,
                                                                                or satan trying to ruin someone and their
                                                                                vocation?  I have prayed about this, but it still seems
                                                                 a little fuzzy.  Everyone I have asked, including my close
                                                                 friends and parents, have told me that I would
                                                                 make a great doctor and that I should continue
                                                                 with my studies. I know that the Holy Spirit
                                                                 can talk through other people, but so can
                                                                 satan. I'm just confused.  I just want to make the right decision so
                                                                 that I can do the Will of God and have peace
                                                                 in my heart when I'm older.  Thank you for your help, P.S. — Great web site; I love it! Matthew |
