Letting God Decide
abracad, · Categories: self help, spiritualityYou're trying to achieve something difficult. You give it your best shot, from planning through execution. But there comes a point where you can do no more. At this point we may say "let God decide". Provided you've given your best efforts this is no abdication of responsibility.
If your most desired outcome is the one that best fulfills your life purpose then it will happen. If it doesn't then you have no regrets, 'coz you did everything you could and God's decision was not this time.
Letting God decide can also work when faced with a difficult choice between different but equally attractive options. Give each the chance to develop. You may find that one path opens up while the other(s) close down, or the right choice becomes clearer in your mind. God has decided.
But letting God decide is no excuse for laziness or timidity. The gift of life is a precious one. We come with a particular purpose and the responsibility to pursue it as best we can. God doesn't help those that don't help themselves. Sitting back and waiting for an opportunity almost certainly guarantees it will never come.
