*not making a decision is not a neutral zone"* THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER I love this because I forgot, but he's so right!!

Wow! What a great way to start off my Sunday morning it’s 5am and I’m in tears. This has helped me more than you know Pastor John! A reminder and wake up call on how my indecisiveness has many consequences but above all, it’s behavior that is disobedient to our Lord and Savior. Time to repent and get to work!! Thanks to your message I will never look at “standing still” as a wise decision when perfectionism tries to get in the way. Because you’re right, its not a stand still, its DRIFTING. Pick something, get started and leave the rest up to Him because God loves to steer a MOVING ship!!! 👏🏽🚢 🌊 🙌🏽

“He gives directions to captains...” I love that. Thank you Pastor John for giving hope and speaking from God’s word.

Never stop persuing the ways of God! Even on your down time when God hasn't given you a major task. Keep persuing his word and the things that are pleasing to the lord! In all your decisions seek to do his will! If we do this, then we have made a decision at that point! Congratulations!

God is so good!!! I love reading articles from Desiring God so I searched for Desiring God + indecision and found this. This applies to me in so many ways, and I'm only 35 years old...God always knows what you need to hear, when you need to hear it. And it doesn't matter that someone from a different age bracket asked the question, because this all applies to me too. Amen!!!

It applies to me too. And I'm just 14. Amen !

This is very important for me, the stake would be my future, may every Christians trust the Lord at all times.

This was sooo helpful thank you. I’ve been listening to all your podcasts on making a decision. All the God given advice is wonderful and has helped me enormously. Sometimes we are so afraid of ‘making’ the wrong decision but when we seek God and His guidance and are striving to please Him and even wanting to be in His will is the way to go. Striving to ‘be holy’ is a hard one and extremely challenging but something I long to be. Thank you Pastor John, always love listening to your podcasts and sermons and come away feeling the Lord is guiding me. Bless you and your ministry. 🙏🏻

So encouraging and helpful in this race, Glory to God.

Thank u so much for the couple who asked this question for me and thank you pastor John for answering praise Jesus

This is so good! Praise God for the wisdom He has given to Pastor John. 🙌🙌

God works for us and inside us. Amen

so good!

I know this isn't the place to ask questions, but... I'm a slow-moving perfectionist myself. Yet, throughout my adult life, I've (by faith, I believed) pursued investigatively many options quite outside my comfort zone. I imagined it would mean closed doors and temptation, lit paths and facility by the Spirit. What I've found is little light, no direction except "no," and at 50, I am increasingly certain I have wasted my life doing my best (though quite imperfectly) to follow the Lord boldly. I am now solely full of regret, recognizing little opportunity ahead, wishing I had done what I wanted in my career instead of "following God," since it seems I failed at that, or didn't understand. Now, my sense is that I'm left in the wilderness for longer than a mere season, knowing it's possible there are years ahead, but... What now? I'm not leaving my faith like so many today who are deconstructing over disappointment or hurts. But, I don't know how not to hate the last 30+ years.

Thank God!!!!!

This is awesome! I have to decide whether I will continue my studies (chemical engineering) at university or quit studying and apply for an apprenticeship. Continue studying would be the more risky thing, because I could potentially waste some more years (I am 25 years old now). I am already studying for 3 years and I am kinda scared to be 30 and haven't got any graduation. But the prospect of being an engineer sounds amazing. It's about whether I want to put the effort into it right now. I actually want to continue studying and I think further studying would make me more dependent on trusting the Lord.

wow I can relate to the school choices, but I'm not nearly as far along haha! I think that what helps (other than reading the bible and praying of course) is ultimately I weigh what is more long-term, what will I regret more if I don;t do?

Thank for sharing. This itself was an encouragement to a fellow student going for mechanical engineering.

It sounds very much like you'd like to be an engineer. As a 50 year old who's just dropped out of grad school (I've been pursuing being a professor, but have realized I will be in my 60s before I really START earning a living?), I can say, at your age? - take the time. The job is to be the best Christ-follower in whatever role you choose. It's not disobedient to pursue engineering. It's not disobedient to pursue an apprenticeship. Pick what gives you the most life and gratitude to God and opportunity for the future. And do it. I wish I'd known this earlier.

Praise God

johna that was funny. i laughed.

I thought God had a path for us, I've been trying to listen for his voice, all I've had is analysis paralysis

I really hope you a answer this! What do I do if I'm always worried about sinning, and even unknown sin.

We all do sin worrying about it will not help instead,we acknowledge our sins to God and pray so that he may sanctify us.1st corithians 10:13

God opened all the doors for me to attend a school in CA, but I'd be over 100K in debt when I graduate. I can start online to save a TON of money, but would I be compromising then? I seem to have the idea that if I don't attend on-campus this Fall I'm saying I don't have enough faith in God that he will provide that money to pay off the debt down the road. Is this right?

WAIT ON HIM,WAIT.HE WILL SHOW UP.THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED,THOSE WHO WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH. KING SAUL WENT TO BATTLE AND DID NOT WAIT ON THE BLESSING FROM THE LORD,AND LOST HIS ANNOINTING, AND WAS REJECTED,AND HIS KINGDOM WAS GIVEN TO DAVID. ALL OF GODS CHOSEN WAITED FOR INSYRUCTION FROM GOD,AND RECIEVED THEIR BLESSING BECAUSE THEY FAITHFULLY WAITED AND BELIEVED.

We’re sinners going to hell but Jesus died so you can have eternal life. Repent and trust in Him only as your savior (not on being a good person)

But SAUL ALSO DECIDED..

I just feel like am already dead..

Quite unappealing manner of focus, my friend Silo. You should work on that and seek help. It’s a massive hindrance to be given to the observance of dislikes in people because If you do, anyone you come across you will find something you do not like and you may end up alone pushing either yourself away from others whose qualities you do not like or in harshness push them away from you. In doing so you will have many more unlikable manners in and of yourself.
