3 Biblical Strategies for Making Tough DecisionsSample

Chances are, you have some experience facing hard decisions. They might be decisions about a job, a relationship, or your finances - the decisions that can leave us feeling paralyzed. There are three things we can do when faced with these situations; the first thing is to pray.
In this passage, David has received news that the Philistines, Israel’s long-time enemy, have attacked the small village of Keilah, about fifteen miles from Jerusalem. David knew he needed to do something, but he prayed before taking action.
What is prayer? Simply talking to God. Some of us find this difficult. We don’t know what to say. We feel awkward. The truth is, we can say anything to God, and He welcomes it. The big things, the little things. God wants a relationship with us. And just like building a relationship with a new friend requires communication, so does a relationship with God. There is nothing mystical about it; just talk.
That’s what David did, and God gave him direction. We won’t always hear God the way we hear another person, but he will answer. Is there anything bothering you or weighing on your mind? Spend a few minutes talking to God about it.
Prayer: God, I don’t always know what to say. But I know you are listening, and I need direction. Please show me what to do in this situation. Amen.
