When I Dont Know What to Do

A close friend called yesterday and we talked & prayed about a situation in her life where she could not get a clear direction in her decision. Call me before 8:30 if you get any word were her parting words. At 7:44 I was checking my email when the following devotional jumped out at me. Sharing with you because I know from personal experience each of us has times .....WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO"We are asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding...being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience ...joyfully giving thanks to the Father" (Colossians 1:9-12).If you have a decision to make and don't know which way to turn, ask God for spiritual wisdom and understanding. It goes beyond the pro and con lists we make for ourselves. His desire for you is to be fruitful and to grow in your knowledge of Him.Give God the question mark you are searching out today and truly trust Him to guide you. Pray about every aspect of your decision. Keep God in the center of your focus and do not neglect reading His Word and asking Him to guide you through it. He will keep His word and will give you patience and endurance as you wait on Him.~Father God, I don't know what to do. I thank You for Your promise of guidance. Help me today to trust my future and my plans to You. Help me today to lean on Your patience and endurance. Lead me in paths that will bring growth in my knowledge of You. Give me spiritual wisdom and understanding that goes beyond my own thinking. I thank You in the strong name of Jesus, Amen. I would add the following PS Father please help us remember Who you are and that You are BIGGER than anything of this world or any other. Amen
