Why Won't God Just Tell Me What to Do ?

DAY 1 OF 4

Day I: What am I supposed to do?

Throughout my life, decision-making has always been a challenge for me. Whenever faced with a choice, I tend to get stuck in a cycle of indecision, feeling stressed and unsure. Recently, I found myself in yet another situation where I couldn't make up my mind, and the frustration hit me hard.

This isn't the first time I've been in this spot. Each time, I feel exasperated, especially when it seems God isn't providing any clear guidance. I keep asking, "What's Your Will, God? Can You please show me?" Yet, the silence persists. I try everything, weighing the pros and cons and seeking advice from friends, but still, I can't seem to reach a decision. It's an exhausting loop that I find myself stuck in once again.

My conversations would usually follow the same commentary:

“I really don’t know what to do! I’ve written out all the pros and cons and am still unsure if I’m making the right decision. I don’t want to make a mistake.”

"I want to apply for this job, but what if I don’t like it? Maybe I should stay where I am now. At least it’s stable, right?”

“I’m tired of trying to figure this out. Every time I visit a different doctor, they put me on something new, and it’s been horrible. I want this to go away, and I am unsure where to start.”

Do any of these statements resonate with you? Questioning seasons can really be a struggle, especially when you're earnestly seeking to align with God's Will and do what's right.

Reflection: What specific answers are you currently seeking? And what steps have you taken thus far to find those answers?

Throughout this devotional, continuously pray for help that you hear from God and receive His Peace as we walk along this journey together.

But what if the answer isn't where we're looking? Maybe it's been there all along? Let's figure it out together: "What should I do?"
