God has many ways to speak to us and to make his will known to us. Only rarely will he send an angel, or intervene directly (we sometimes wish he did it more, to take away our doubts) and even when he does, like those saints who did have apparitions and received messages directly from him, they never trusted their own experiences but always went to his representatives, to the Church to confirm the authenticity of what they had received. His ways of speaking to us are much more ordinary and may not seem like his voice at all until we use the gift of faith, and realize how close he is to us as our Creator, Redeemer and life-giving Spirit.

God has given you talents in music, computers and medicine. He has also given you spiritual talents that you should not underestimate: Faith, Hope and Love, which you received in Baptism. Like the human talents you received, these wont grow or be of great benefit to you unless you develop them, and in developing them you will see more clearly why God gave them to you and how he wants you to use them.

We have to ground our life in Faith. That means, in part, using our faith when we are thinking about life (where did life come from, what is it for, what comes after life, what is most important in life, etc) and to base our decisions on the truths we discover, and not only on our impressions and likes or some passing pleasure or satisfaction.

We also have to live our life in Hope and Trust. We hope to reach eternal life in Heaven after this life is over. We hope to be happy for all eternity. We trust in Christ that if we put him first we will find this everlasting happiness and also be filled with peace in this life.

We trust in Christ that he will not abandon us, no matter how difficult life or our vocation might be at times.

And especially, we have to ground our life on Charity. No matter what we do or how great our works are, if we dont love it is all a waste of time. And consequently the wisest decisions we make as regards life and how we will live it are those that are based on Love: love for God and love for our neighbor as ourselves.

So, I would encourage you to grow through prayer and the Sacraments in these three virtues. Jesus died on the Cross so we could be born to this new life, which is worth more than our natural life itself. Use them as your principal points of reference when you are making your life-decisions, and many other considerations will fall into place much more easily.

God bless.
