How to Make a Decision

A fork in the road . . . sometimes exciting, sometimes terrifying. So, what do we do when faced with 2 very different choices? Freak out? A quick game of eenie, meenie, minie, moe? Remain frozen with indecision? I've tried all of these options and none have worked too well. Although I definitely do not have decision making down to a science, I have learned a lot about facing various crossroads in my life.

1. Know that God has a plan for my life . . .a plan to give me hope and a future!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

2. Trust God with all my heart, he will make my way straight.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

3. Don't be anxious! With prayers and petitions ask God for wisdom.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

4. Start walking down a path in the light of God's word.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105

5. Allow God to direct my steps. He's the one with the plan remember!
A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way? Proverbs 20:24

6. Embrace his plans for my life.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,​a​ who​b​ have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
