Decisions
by Barbara Philbrook

Decisions are the choices we make,
it is the direction we eventually decide to take.

Now there are folks who are willing to tell us what to do,
but does this fact make it the right choice for you?

There is always someone willing to point the way,
but does God say the same thing when you kneel to pray.

God will tell you which way you should choose,
with Him knowing the outcome how could you loose?

Talk to the Father telling Him how you feel,
ask that He give you the discernment to know what's real.

No one else cares for you more than the Father,
and His advice will never make your decisions harder.

He wants to counsel you and lead the way,
all He's waiting for is that you kneel to Pray.

Surrender you heart and all you will ever be,
ask Him to lead you all the way to your destiny.

You will not be disappointed I can promise you this,
as long as your are surrendered your life will be Bliss.

Oh there'll be trials and perhaps a tear or two,
but you will feel His presence right beside you.

You'll have the Peace That Passeth All Understanding you see,
which gives comfort no matter what happens to be.

So if you've a decision you must make,
follow God's leading my friend and you'll not make a mistake.

Thank all your friends and family for their loving advice,
tell them you love them all for being so nice.

But that you have a Comforter who is your loving guide,
ever since you invited Him within to abide.

And you must listen to what He's telling you,
because you have found that obeying Him is the best thing to do.

Decisions are just little daily tests you see,
that show God we have surrendered to Him entirely.
