Unfortunately, I am in a mighty struggle right now, evaluating the cost. I am the builder who started a tower, but now realizes I might not have the funds to complete it. (Luke 14:28). What sustains me is the recollection of my commitment.
Don't make any rash decisions! Think of the millions of Christians in the world who are far less dilligent in their seeking of Christ than you are. Yet still they are Christians. Is it true (relatively speaking) that if one wants to follow the letter of The Bible then the Priesthood is the only option - and an unmarried one at that?
Or a missionary, unmarried again?
"In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:33, NIV)
But, is this really necessary, to give up everything and follow Christ? If so we are failing dismally. Your answer to me on this has always been "God needs Bricklayers, Lawyers, Doctors, Computer Specialists .." - has that changed?
I will pray for you in your time of struggle.
