Our lives are the result of the choices we make. Good and bad decisions shape us, both in the near future and in the distant years.

We are also impacted by the decisions we didn’t make. The bad ideas we avoided and the opportunities that we let slip through our fingers.

One reason Christians should spend time in prayer is to ask God to help us make wise choices today and for our future. Ask God for wisdom and insight into things we have not imagined yet. Seek his will and respond to the ways we see him leading. 

If we want to change our lives and our futures, then we need to make better choices now. And prayer before we decide our next steps gets us on the path toward the life God desires for us
