What do you do when you don't know what to do?

Sometimes the next step feels obvious. Other times, the path ahead is anything but clear. The good news is that we don't have to figure it all out on our own. God guides us through His Word, the Holy Spirit, wise people, the circumstances around us, and His voice.

Do you ever feel like you are going in circles and not making any progress? At least not the kind of progress you were expecting. Are the constant appeals of our world pulling you in a million different ways, causing you to question if you are headed in the right direction?

If you are like me, you have plans and dreams you want to fulfill. But life is confusing at times. And most days it seems like you are just surviving instead of living out those dreams or accomplishing your goals.

Numerous distractions. Too many choices. Endless interruptions. There have been days since I have felt like one foot was fixed to the floor, while my other foot scurried in every direction. Expending a lot of energy and mental fatigue but going nowhere. Can you relate?

Wouldn’t it be awesome to wake up every morning and be assured you are on the right path towards your goals? To know with certainty that you are headed in the right direction. To feel confident with each step, without constantly questioning yourself?

Too many times, I have second-guessed a decision I was confident about. I want so desperately to follow God's will that I will pray but then feel uncertain, not wanting to make a wrong move. I wonder: This is not what I am supposed to be doing. This is not part of God's plan for my life. 

As I have wrestled with indecision and insecurity, I have sought God's Word for help. A few months ago, I found a priceless nugget of truth in the Bible. It addresses our desire for guidance and shows us what to do when we need clear direction. King David composed these words in a beautiful psalm, tucked within the pages of the Old Testament:

"Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." (Psalm 25:4-5 NLT)   (Guide ME!)

These verses reveal David's humble and teachable heart. He wanted to be guided by God and led by His truth. David knew God was his Savior and placed all his hope in the One who created the right path for him.

Make Every Day Count!
