It’s not uncommon for me to find myself in a conversation with someone who thinks they must have messed up their discernment. ‘I really thought I was supposed to take this job,’ they’ll sigh. ‘But it turns out – I hate it.’ Or, ‘I really thought he was “the one.” But it didn’t work out so I must have been wrong.’ Or, ‘This seemed like the perfect volunteering opportunity! I was praying for something like this to come up. But I’m actually really bad at it and it doesn’t seem like a good fit after all.’
