Let’s make good decisions – how do you do this? But making a plan. First, let’s look at what kind of decisions we make.

Simple decisions: A color of cup, red or blue, green or yellow. We make so many decisions every single day.
Moral decisions: Decide not to lie or not to steal.
Life-changing: A decision that has to do with something with the future of your life.

You really need to understand the basics. Is this decision easy or is it a big one to make that you need to figure out over time?

Let’s look at a decision. Write that down now. What is something that you want to make a decision about? What is the first thing you do? Pray. Pray specifically about what it is your need? And then, do it! For example, if you want to make a decision about whether or not you should play a sport, or play a musical instrument. You can not do anything if you won’t’ make a start.

Think about your needs. What is something you need to decide about?
- Write it down
- Is this something you can think about or plan?
- Is it something you can look into.
Pray
- Ask the Lord in prayer if it is an important decision.
- If you can not figure out the answer, let it go for a time.
- Accept God’s will in our life
Look into your options – what can you do?
- Research your options
- If possible give it a try
Read the Bible
- Every day. Read it as a family
- Listen after you pray
Pray and ask the Lord to give you the gift of knowledge about what to do.
- Gifts of the Holy Spirit are many, ask for specific gifts
Answers sometimes come from our parents or siblings
- Ask your mom, dad, grandmother or another adult you trust.
- Have them pray and think about your decision.
Keep Praying! Ideas will come into our minds, miraculously
- We can pray and think about those ideas.
Write any thoughts you might have about the decision.
- Keep a journal
- Write it on an electronic device
- Write down Bible verses that might help
Pray about any thoughts that come to mind
- Ask the Lord to confirm these.
- God-incidents – sometimes answer come from different places
Make a Decision!
Do you feel peace about your decision?
- If you are not peaceful and super worried about it keep praying
If you can’t make a decision… wait!
- Pray.
- Talk to your family
If you make a decision trust God
- Even if things don’t turn out perfectly, it’s okay
Ask the Lord to prepare your way.
Thank the Lord!
