Sometimes I feel schizophrenic and so do I.  One minute I feel completely confident about doing something and the next, I am totally confused.  It often feels like I am vacillating between one plan of action and another.  My mind may be made up one day and change again in an instant.  The more I think about some things. the more baffled I get.

Maybe it’s better to just forget the whole thing.  Maybe the thoughts should be removed completely from your mind – but decisions which affect your future cannot be forgotten. God wants us to plan – to be smart – to use the brains He’s given us.  He also doesn’t want us to lose faith over the choices we make.  In all things we should be strengthened through Him – even when our minds are befuddled and we aren’t sure about the options that lay before us.

It would be nice if all the right answers were written in the sky by God Himself, but He doesn’t work that way anymore.  Today He talks to us through His Holy Word, the Bible.

When our minds are filled with indecision; when our hearts are troubled by change; when life becomes disrupted with new circumstances, He invites us to come to His Word for answers.

Psalm 119:169  “Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
    give me understanding according to your word!

Lord, it seems as if I should be old enough to have all the answers, but I don’t.  Life and experience teach us good lessons, but the only truth comes from you.  Help me to accept the things which I have no control over.   Help me to have an adventurous heart again.  I don’t want my age to be a deterrent to all  future plans.  Give me strength and courage to make the right choices for my life and help me to find answers through your Word.
