When I’m Confused

There are times, like this past couple weeks, when I’m so worried that I cannot think straight. It’s hard right now to make good decisions. It’s also a very bad time to make a very bad decision. Confusion breeds confusion, I guess.

So, what can I do? My answer is always to pray. Praying sounds so easy. But praying for the right thing is so hard.

If I pray for what I think I need, it might be only what I want, not what God knows I need. I do know I need to make good decisions. The problem, as always, for me, is that I forget to pray before I do something that requires me to pray. In decision-making, I forget until after the fact.

Father in heaven, please, please guide me in every decision I make over the coming days and weeks, most especially when I am too confused to ask for your help.
