I am curious how YOU decide. I know those of us who have a faith in God will attempt to discern His Will but what then?

I listen to my intuition. I look at all the signs that have been appearing in my life. Above all I just try to keep doing the next right thing.

When I come to a fork in the road I first pray and ask guidance from
my lord knowing he will direct me.What ever that I come up with
through a Christian friends advice or circumstances that open for me
I compare it to Gods Word and if it lines up with The Word of God I
follow that road and walk by faith.Even it I went the wrong way Jesus
will draw me back to the right road I should be on.He always has in the
past and He will in the future. God Bless have a great day.
In Christ in Love,

It's not easy. Even when you have considered all things there is to consider. I'd say take the road with doesn't give you butterflies in your stomach. Take the road which gives you more peace of mind. If it happens to be not so good, well, that's part of being human. No matter which way, there are consequences. These consequences are there to help us grow and learn. Hope you find your road and hope that it's the best road.

Debra..Myself and wife pray together every day. If we have something come up and we direction..we pray about it ONE time..then we watch and listen..the answer will come some how. We know God is faithful...everytime..I mean Every time..God shows up..through a person, a phone call...something..God comes through..I totally trust his will 100%...he has never let me down. That does not mean that we have not faced terrible things...we just have never faced them alone..For the Lord is with us..we fear no evil...his rod and staff comfort us. His rod was used by the Shepperd to be thrown to kill and enemy that would come at us...the staff was used by the Shepperd to pull the sheep up out of holes or pits they would fall into into...so we are protected even when WE mess up...we are safe against anything.
God Bless You!

I try to think of the various consequences of going one path or another. If it comes out about equal, I just let "fate" decide. Every second we live we make choices of doing one thing or another which could effect our lives. There are too many things we could worry over. I think it's better just to get on with living and enjoying the life we have.

you be attentive to what? maximum individuals might decide for the course to the main suitable. maximum Europeans, the left course. obtrusive, isn't it? individuals are constantly instructed "save to the main suitable," at the same time as Europeans get the different admonition! it is basically highway regulations. yet we are culturally ingrained to immediately take that direction, notably much everywhere. human beings will attempt to furnish each sort of unique, mystic, or religious motives for their selection. yet you notably lots have it right here!

i think its about checking your motives and then what the greatest outcome of good overall for the greatest outcome of the most people. but you really may just need to get quiet enough to hear what god is saying. i know for myself i have had to get over the paralasys of analasys so i dont get stuck at the fork but at the same time sometimes in the waiting god is preparing me for something. its so cool the closer i get in my relationship with my heavenly father i hear his voice a bit clearer, a bit louder. god bless.

You just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes you hear Him, sometimes you don't. It would be nice to have the neon light or the burning bush to guide us, but that is the definition of faith.
And, I do pray a lot.

knowing that no matter what happens when you decide which way to go whaen you get to that fork that you will be happy no matter what the outcome is and that you are the one who really wants to do what ever it is that you are doing just remember you have to loose sight of the shore before you can discover new horizons
