Everyone comes to a point in their lives where they need to make a decision. But, before we make any decisions talk to God about it, He gives us options, not orders, and He has faith in us that we will make the right choices when the time comes. Our feelings and emotions can hinder, and deceive us, especially if we depend on them alone for making a decision. God has given us our emotions, and they are important, but God also has given us our mental abilities, and when we face a decision, we also need to look at it carefully, spiritually, and logically. Part of discerning God’s will is to ask Him to help us see all sides of an issue or problem. Emotion and intellect alone are not enough, however. When we face a decision, we need to do it prayerfully, unbiased and trust God to lead us. We also need to do it in light of God’s Word, the Bible. God will never lead you to do something that is not in accordance with the Bible, never. If our decisions do not line up with the Word of God, then it's the wrong choice.
Father, when we lack wisdom in making a decision, we pray for Your will to be done. Lord, any decision You are a part of will bring peace, gentleness, and friendship; it will be filled with compassion and produce a great harvest of good deeds. If our decisions make us wander off the road Father, let Your Word be a lamp that guides us to Your path for us. Lord, with every decision we make, let us not be conformed to the standards of this world, but let Jesus transform us inwardly so we will make the right decision. Lord, help us do our best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives that bind us together. Lord, where there is no guidance, we will stumble and fall; but in Your counsel we are safe. So, whatever we do, whether we eat, drink, dress, or just live; let us do it all to the glory of You, in Jesus name, Amen
