effective for You.

sleepless nights

dear God, 

i have decisions to be made
and i don’t know which to make
i am finding it harder to say no to some
and i know the world is calling me many different ways.
but the path i want to choose, is the one You intended for me. the one where i can be the most effective for You. what good will saying yes to everything be, if i can only do a half-hearted job at it.
dear Lord, take away this need to please people
take away this fear of disappointing others.
i will have no other gods but You. 
guide me Lord, 
i want to choose the one that You want me to be in
You know best.
give me also the strength to say no,
to face the disappointment of others with the knowledge that i’m pleasing You.

amen.
