Prayer for Making Decisions

God,
It seems that life is always requiring decisions.
Sometimes everything in my life is stable and settled,
And then a new opportunity presents itself, 
And I feel unsteady and unsure of which way to go.

At other times I become weary with stability 
And decide I want a change in my life. 
That’s when I look for other possibilities 
That may allow me to move in a different direction.

In either case, I can feel unsettled about making a decision, 
Especially when there is still some 
Haziness in my heart about the course I should take.
I do not, after all, want to make the wrong decision. 

I pray that you will guide my thoughts
When I am searching through options for my future. 
Help me be patient when the process 
Is unfolding more slowly than I would want.

Help me trust the spirit of intuition 
That you have given me as an aid for
Interpreting the signs that help me move forward.
