God has given us an amazing ability to reflect, analyze and synthesize, but not to always be able to foresee the consequences of our actions or what is coming in the future. These limitations require us to seek the Lord and ask for His wisdom, of which He is most willing to impart to us. When we start our decision-making process by fearing the Lord, we put ourselves in the positions of humility before God. It is at this point that our hearts are ready to acknowledge our utter dependence upon the Lord for his guidance, counsel and wisdom in how to proceed forward. God wants to guide our lives and decision making and promises such guidance in His Word. (Psalms 32:8) Therefore anyone who desires to make wise choices and know God’s will must regularly pray for guidance. (Psalms 31:3) As we pray, we need to also look for ways in which He is guiding us. Along with prayers for guidance, we can pray for other important virtures like wisdom, clarity and courage when making decisions.
