Many times in life, we have to make difficult decisions, whether for marriage, work, or other things. If God’s word is in our hearts, we will receive a lot of help in making difficult decisions.
When we give God time and follow his path, he helps us to make the right decisions in difficult times. Just as God gave wisdom to Solomon, he wants to provide us with wisdom. When God’s wisdom is in us, we can easily make the right decisions.
God wants to help us, but we fail because we want to do everything in our own wisdom. When we face a situation where we have to make a tough decision, we need to return to God. We should inform the Lord about everything through prayer, and He will help us to get out of that situation.
Since we do not know our future, but the Lord knows. That is why we should not worry unnecessarily, but surrender everything to the Lord. Then he will help us make the right decision.
Let’s look at the following Bible scriptures that discuss making difficult decisions.
