Unsure About What You Should Do?

Try this one thing — it applies to almost EVERY decision you make

Has life ever left you feeling so confused, upset, or exasperated the questions “What should I do?” or “What is my next step?” rattle around in your brain non-stop? Read on, and I’ll tell you the answer I discovered. It applies to almost EVERY decision you make.

Ten men sat around my conference room table, mostly quiet, heads in hands. It was the middle of the day, and we should have been busy making conference calls and conducting business. But it was 2009, in the belly of the beast of what is now called the Great Financial Crisis.

Those ten guys were a small group of friends I pulled together to journey together through one of the worst economic collapses to hit our country. Like today, work was not only slow or non-existent; some of us no longer had jobs.

I looked forward to this time together. We shared ideas about life, prayed for each other, and spoke honestly about the stress on our marriages, our families, and our bank accounts. We were anxious, nervous, and we had no idea when the misery would end. We didn’t know what to do.

One particular Thursday, I sat at the end of the long mahogany conference room table, gazing out the window into a dreary grey February sky. I wanted to ask the question that had been rolling around in mind. I had been wrestling with it, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. I was frustrated. Nothing was clear to me.

So I turned to the group and threw it out there, “What is God’s will for my life?”

I listened.

I waited.

But I got nothing. Crickets.

Not surprisingly, they told me to pray about it.

And so I prayed (some more). I asked (some more). I looked (some more). And still, no answer came to me.

I wanted to know what to do, and I didn’t want to get it wrong!
