What Do I Do When I Don't Know What to Do?

Everyone one of us hits the lid of life every now and then when it seems like life is going nowhere but down. It is in those times that the Lord seems to be distant and unconcerned about our plight. On the contrary, He is teaching us to rely upon Him even more. Today is the greatest day of your life. Follow these simple yet meaningful steps and you will know exactly
what to do when life gets hairy:

1. You will wait on the Lord. Don't react or take matters into your own hands. Sit before Him and He will guide you every step of the way. The Lord desires to take you though your difficulty with the utmost success. Waiting is not easy. It takes a lot of courage to wade through your darkness and trust the Lord to bring the victory. (Psalm 27:14; 37:7,9,34)
   
2. Worship while you wait. Do your best not to fret when it takes longer then you would have liked for your answer to come. It's going to come right on time. Worshiping the Lord while you wait for your answer shows the Lord that you totally trust Him in all things. (Psalm 95:6; 96:9)
3. When you worship, your worrying will cease. That's the biggest challenge of all. Not to worry in the midst of your fiery furnace. Put out the fires of worry and let the mighty faith that resides in you come alive. Worrying only shortens your life. It's normal to grieve a little when we are suffering, but all-out worrying only destroys your hope. (Psalm 37:1; Prov. 24:19)
4. Ask for wisdom. Instead of spending your time worrying about things you can't change, ask the Lord for wisdom. Wisdom enables us to see God at work on our behalf. Wisdom is vital to the waiting game. Many people go before the Lord and ask the Lord to change their circumstances when the Lord desires to impart wisdom to get you through the circumstances. (Prov. 4:7; James 1:5)
