Pray for a decision.
Father God, You chose to create, you chose to love, you chose a people. You chose a plan to restore your children into close relationship with you. You chose me! I am so thankful you chose me, and taught me to respond to your love, and to know how good you are!
You chose to give me freedom to choose many things for myself. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by choices.
I like to know I'm making the right choice, the best decision. Your ways are higher than my ways, and you've taught me to recognize some of those decisions easily. The longer we continue together, you and I, the more consistently I'm able to choose to go the more difficult way, higher and higher.
If there is a choice to love, I choose it. If there is a choice to lift up someone else, I choose it. If there is a choice to help, to be kind, to encourage, I choose that way. When I do, it is certain that I'm in agreement with you, Lord. You teach me wisdom by keeping to this path.
But sometimes the choice is not clear, it's not a matter of right and wrong, or good and bad. I'm offered an option to exercise my freewill, a gift from you. But, Lord, I love you! And I want to honor you in those choices too.
God, I give you the choice before me today. Lead me to wise counselors. (Psalm 15:22) Open my ears to hear your voice.
And if this is one of those choices you've given to bless me and indulge my free will, thank you for teaching me wisdom, so I don't have to be afraid of making a mistake. You never reject me if I do make an error, and you continue to watch over me, regardless.
In Psalm 32:8 (-SPS) LORD,you said, “If you hold my hand, we'll take the best route for your life, I'll constantly advise you and point out anything troublesome so you don't trip. I'm watching over you every step of the way.”
O, Master, Let every choice I make demonstrate my will is submitted to you. Amen.
