Prayer points
A decision I have to make
Two roads, and a deadline

Isaiah 30:21 · King James Version
Father, I have to choose, and I am afraid of getting it wrong. Speak.

Say these out loud. Not to convince God — to remind yourself what is true when your feelings are arguing.
- God gives wisdom liberally and without reproach.
- The meek He guides in judgment.

- He is able to stop me if I start down the wrong road.
Lord, I would rather be in the hard right place than the comfortable wrong one.
