When you find yourself in a situation with several choices, you need to weigh them. If you’re the praying sort, start with that. It’s definitely a good idea to take some deep breaths, center yourself to focus on the one situation at hand. This will give you a better flow of insight and help you to not have any sort of worry or panic vibes to distort the flow.
Then, take a paper, maybe several papers or just tear the one paper into pieces, and write down a possible solution to the situation you’re working through on each piece. If you feel led to, also consider there’s another solution you don’t yet see. In some situations, the God input isn’t yet clear, but should still be considered.
As one example, I broke down on a trip from here to there and found myself at the nearest hotel. I’d weighted my options and even implemented some of them. One option didn’t work out, so in the early morning of the next day, I sat at the desk there and wrote down solutions to my situation. As I looked over the solutions, one in particular “glowed” as the solution to pursue. I then took that action and the remaining things worked out for the best.
As another example, a little closer to home, a family situation arose and choices had to be made. I stood by my personal choices as that’s what I felt I had to do in the seriousness of the situation. I am okay with that. Where did I go from there, that I wasn’t sure of. I placed the situation with God and did my best to have him handle it going forward because I knew things were precarious at best and trusting God was very much needed in this situation. Since that main scenario, the steps forward have been careful, but okay.
I’ve done this in various situations over time and it really works. Getting things out of your head and onto paper allows you to see and really get a clear picture of what can and can’t be done. I also allows room for possible ideas you haven’t yet thought of. Even then, once you’ve laid out the details, and things still don’t have a clear answer, it’s a good idea to give more pause and patience to the situation to see what else develops. Some things do take care of themselves without your direct help.
Think on this. I hope it’s helped you. Do message me to order your personal words of comfort. ((aprildaisy4 @ yahoo.com)) Thank you for being here.
