Some of the best advice I’ve ever received is to pray for wisdom when facing difficult decisions. During times of uncertainty, I’ve learned to quiet my anxious mind through prayer and ask the Divine for clarity and discernment. Rather than rushing into an important choice, I first take time to connect spiritually. This allows me to become more aware of my inner truth. I open my heart to receive guidance, then carefully weigh my options rationally.

Once I’ve gathered information and listened to wise counsel, I tune inward. With all the chatter of the mind set aside, I’m able to hear the gentle whisperings of my higher self. A sense of inner knowing surfaces as to the best path forward. This intuitive inkling comes through as a feeling of peace and rightness about a particular option. After praying for illumination, taking time to evaluate rationally, and then listening to my soul’s wisdom, I’m able to make decisions with confidence and courage. Relying on both spiritual guidance and critical analysis has served me well. My life has been richer for heeding this advice to seek Divine wisdom while also using my intellect to make prayerfully informed choices.
