What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

 

By Andrea Merrell

We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, 

but we’re not demoralized. We’re not sure what to do, 

but we know that God knows what to do.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 MSG

 

Decisions, decisions. We face them all day, every day. Some choices are huge while most seem small and fairly insignificant. Many can cause an unstoppable domino effect.

This continual what-do-I-do situation can become discouraging and completely wear us out—especially when we try to make the decisions all on our own.

The apostle Paul faced challenges on a continual basis, many of them life-threatening. The Bible says he was “surrounded and battered by troubles.” He had to make choices, and we know they couldn’t have been easy. But Paul said, “We’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows.”

God is a good and loving Father who is with us continually. He desires to guide and direct us even down to the smallest, everyday, ordinary situation. He tells us throughout the Scriptures to pray. To ask. To call out to Him. He is concerned with everything that concerns us.

So, what should you do when you don’t know what to do? Ask your heavenly Father. He is always ready to answer when you seek Him.
