What is it that we do when we question the direction we should follow, do I or don’t I?  Often we think about the positive and negative consequences.  We might write down the pros and cons, and then evaluate the list.  Sometimes we might look at the alternatives as impossible. 

What I have found is that when the direction is from Jesus, I am at peace.  The issues disappear and the solutions present themselves so long as I hand over control.  

That doesn’t mean I don’t do anything.  It means that if I am prayerful and open to opportunities, I will be provided the resources I need to complete the task.  

We have a choice to look at the world from various perspectives.  When things look bad one can stick their head in the sand or be open to new opportunities.  We can allow ourselves to think about the impossible or pray our way through the solutions.  

I don’t think about the bad, to me, it is a waste of time.  Living in the moment I make decisions based on opportunities that present themselves.  I give control to Jesus and pray to be guided down my intended path.  

I have learned not to question the unusual solutions that present themselves.  Trusting that the resources will be provided to complete the task.  I give control to Jesus and follow without reservation.  

Without prayer, I might be jumping at empty opportunities.  I am careful to move forward with my eyes open and am willing to shift course if I stray off path.  

When Jesus is in control I have warning signals that indicate I am off track, normally a pit in my stomach.  As I walk the course I remember that stress, anxiety, and worry are all things that are signals.  I focus on prayer and listen for my next opportunity.

As I focus on prayer and giving Jesus control stress disappears and solutions appear.  When I center my thoughts and actions on love, compassion surfaces, and inner peace fills my being.  Do I or don’t I is not an issue because I have surrendered to Jesus.
