Why It’s Important to Seek God’s Guidance
Praying about decisions we need to make doesn’t mean we stop thinking about them. In fact, we should be asking God to help us understand our choices more clearly, and to decide which is best. The Bible says, “How much better to get wisdom than gold.” (Proverbs 16:16) We need God’s guidance because we only see part of the picture, while God sees it all. We may think we have all the facts we need to make a decision, but we don’t — not completely. We may also be swayed by our emotions, unwise motives, or what others want us to do and not even be aware of it. God’s way is always the best way, and that’s because He desires to work all things together for our good. (Romans 8:28)
