Decisions

[Ruifeth]

Hello, I would like to put in a prayer request for myself. I am going to have to speak vaguely in this post, but a decision has been made to proceed with a process at work. I have never gone through this process before. Maybe I should have put more prayer and meditation before going through with this and supporting this decision, but I pray that this is the right call. I know I shouldn’t be afraid but what if I don’t have enough for this decision to be considered the right one? I want to say that I am not sure if I have enough for this decision, but perhaps I do. I ask that you pray for me. I ask that God guides me through this all because I know for a fact I can’t do this alone. I ask that God grants me strength, courage, wisdom, and knowledge through this. Truth be told, this just might be the right decision, but I need to process to be right. I ask that the light of Jesus be with me and illuminate through it all. I ask that I do not let fear and worry conquer me. I ask that I do right by everyone. I know God got me, but I have to put in my part. I’m put in this position for a reason and it is for the better. I put my everything before God, where it all belongs. I can’t and won’t go about this alone. In the mighty name of Jesus, I am strong, I am courageous, and I have what I need to overcome it all. In the mighty name of Jesus, all is well and all will be well. In the mighty name of Jesus, I am the victor. I pray that this is the right decision and everything about this process goes well. Please pray with, for me, and for everyone involved. We can all win in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless.

We hear your heart, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you in prayer as you face this significant decision at work. It is clear that you recognize your need for God’s guidance, strength, and wisdom, and that is a beautiful place to begin. The Lord delights in those who seek Him with humility and dependence, as Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

You expressed concern about whether this is the right decision, and it is wise to bring that before the Lord. Doubt can creep in when we rely on our own understanding, but Scripture assures us that God will direct our steps if we commit our ways to Him. Psalm 37:5-6 says, "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun." We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s will through prayer, meditation on His Word, and perhaps even fasting, as these disciplines will help quiet your fears and align your heart with His.

Fear is a natural response when stepping into the unknown, but we are called to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). The enemy may try to use fear to paralyze you, but remember that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). You are not alone in this, Yahweh is your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and He will equip you with everything you need to navigate this process. Philippians 4:13 declares, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

We also want to gently encourage you to examine whether this decision aligns with biblical principles. While you’ve spoken vaguely, we trust that you are seeking to honor God in your workplace. If there are any ethical or moral concerns, such as dishonesty, exploitation, or compromise of your faith, we urge you to prayerfully reconsider. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed." If this decision is in line with God’s will, He will confirm it and bring it to pass.

Let us pray with you now:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, lifting up this decision and the process they are about to undertake. Lord, we ask that You would go before them, illuminate their path, and grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding. Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and doubt that seeks to hinder them, and we declare that they are equipped with Your strength, courage, and peace. Guide their steps, Lord, and let Your will be done in this situation. We pray that You would open doors that no one can shut and close doors that are not of You. Give them clarity, discernment, and favor with those involved. May this process bring glory to Your name and be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, who has overcome the world and given us victory. Amen."

You are not alone in this, dear one. The Lord has placed you in this position for a reason, and He will not abandon you. Continue to seek Him, trust in His promises, and walk forward in faith. We are confident that He will see you through this season, and we stand with you in prayer. If you ever feel the need to talk further or seek additional counsel, we are here to support you. May the peace of Christ guard your heart and mind as you move forward.

We’ve read your request, and we want you to know you aren’t alone in that unsettled space. So many of us know what it’s like to make a decision and then feel the weight of “What if I don’t have enough?” right after. Thank you for being honest.

What we noticed is that even in your worry, you’re already holding onto the most important thing: you’re not walking through this alone. The decision is made, but God’s guidance doesn’t end there, He stays with you into each small next step. You asked for strength, courage, wisdom, and knowledge. That’s a prayer He loves to answer, often as we keep showing up and leaning on Him.

Courage isn’t the absence of that knot in your stomach; it’s doing what needs to be done with God right beside you. You’ve already shown that courage by stepping forward. As you keep going, maybe you could try setting aside a brief quiet moment each day, not to second-guess the whole decision again, but to hand over the specific parts of the process that feel heavy. That’s often where peace overtakes the “what ifs.”

We’re praying with you now.

Lord Jesus, thank You for holding us when we feel in over our heads. We lift up this person to You. Quiet their heart and remind them that their worth isn’t riding on the outcome, but rests in Your love. Give them clear thoughts, steady words, and a calm confidence that You go before them in every meeting and conversation. Help them see Your hand in the details, and may this entire process unfold in a way that brings good and honors You. In Your name, Amen.

Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing us with another day, and for all you do for all of us. All glory and honor belongs to you Father. I lift this prayer up on your glory Father God and ask that you grant your perfect will. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

[Spurgeon]

You have already acted, and that cannot be undone. The decision is made. Now the question is not whether you have enough, prayer, meditation, wisdom, or strength, within yourself to make it right. That path leads only to the doubling of worry. The peace you seek is not found in the sufficiency of your own resources but in trusting the living God who has brought you to this place. If you lean upon the arm of flesh, you will soon discover how feeble it is. But if the decision was made in honesty and prudence, then cast the weight of its outcome entirely upon Him. He is not a God who demands that you possess beforehand all that the process requires; He is the God who strengthens in the Lord, who supplies what is lacking as the need arises.

You speak of being afraid that you do not have enough for the decision to be considered the right one. That fear is natural to fallen flesh, but it is not the spirit of a child of God. The shepherds trembled before the glory of the Lord, but the angel’s message was that the coming of God in Christ was good tidings of great joy, the very end of that slavish fear which makes us shrink from the presence of the Almighty. The terror that makes you question whether you have done rightly is not the holy awe of a forgiven soul; it is the suggestion of the adversary, who would have you look to yourself instead of to the God of the hills and the God of the valleys. He is as much the God of this low, trembling valley of yours as He is of the high, triumphant mountains you have read of in the lives of others. Did He ever fail Augustine or Luther? And is His arm shortened that it cannot now perform what it performed in those days? It is not the measure of your faith that holds you up, but the object of that faith. Trust, even as a grain of mustard seed, lays hold on an omnipotent God.

You ask for strength, courage, wisdom, and knowledge. These are good and necessary things. But know this: the strength of the Christian is not a natural vigor which he works up within himself. It is a singular and special energy, ‘I will strengthen them in the Lord.’ When there remains no strength in you, and you feel your own inability keenly, that is no sign you are unfit for the work. It is the very moment to fling yourself upon the divine strength. Do not make a god of your feelings of bravery, nor a Christ out of your own resolve. To trust the living God is to trust Him when you feel courageous and when you feel overwhelmed, knowing that He remains unchanged. Your victory does not lie in your declaration, ‘I am strong,’ spoken into the air, but in the secret reliance of the soul upon Christ. He is the strength of your life.

Let your prayer now be the prayer of Daniel, who, in full knowledge that a den of lions awaited him, went to his chamber, opened his windows toward Jerusalem, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. He did not merely plead for deliverance; he maintained the posture of worship and gratitude. He was a great searcher of the promises and found that Jehovah was always victorious. Your call is similar. You are not to pace the floor, mentally parading every possible failure. You are to place yourself in the presence of God with thanksgiving that the matter is in His hands, and leave it there. Let your confidence in His goodness breed a holy expectation. The light of Jesus illuminating your path does not always mean the full blaze of noonday understanding. It often means just enough light for the next step, as you bow with submission to the divine will. That acquiescence is unerring guidance.

There is forgiveness with God that He may be feared. If any misstep has been made, the throne of grace is open. But let that same forgiving love breed a deeper consecration, not a paralyzing introspection. Go forward, then, not trusting in the rightness of the decision as something you must prove, but trusting in the living God whose truth you bear. He is the pillar and ground of that truth, and He will hold you up. Walk up and down in His name, taking healthy exercise in the duties before you, and let the peace of God, which passes all understanding, garrison your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
