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.
