Some of us think way too much; I am a guilty party to that! Sure this isn’t necessarily bad, but when it affects possible events from transpiring it can really wreck havoc in your life… you may even miss out on a wonderful blessing in your life. There are times that your mind likes to play tricks on you making you feel that what you perceive as a wonderful experience will instead be a dreadful reality. You can truly think about things too much and too deep which will inevitably cause outcomes to be very different. Or worse off you might miss a grand opportunity. Did you ever think you could literally think yourself out of something truly wonderful? Yes you can!
It’s been a few years now that I have kept the words in my mind “leave it in G_d’s hand” handy especially for those moments when I know I’m thinking/analyzing something way too much. Have you ever just “missed the boat”? I have, many times in fact, end up over thinking the outcome of a decision.
Whether it’s a career change, life changing decision, or love we all can stand to step back and let it go. This doesn’t mean to not think things out in a thorough way. No, this means to not only think about it but more importantly pray about it. The power of prayer is far more accurate in decision making then is the brains ability to over analyze something to death.You can end up making the outcome work against you rather than for you. G_d knows already what’s in store for you in your life.
As a child will go to his/her parent for guidance on a decision as should we turn to our Father in Heaven when we have a decision to make. Especially when it’s one that will change the course of our future.
In my own life those times that I turned to prayer on decisions such as a career change (example) my choice ended up being the best choice I could have made. There have been times as well that I thought about something so much that I actually missed the opportunity. Looking back I know it was because the more I thought (analyzed) about it the more I was talking myself out of it. I’ve missed a great deal of wonderful things due to my over thinking and once I learned to leave it in G_ds hands it’s been such a blessing.
Let your Heavenly Father guide you in your life decisions. Don’t abandon your own thinking but complement it will G_d own advice (through prayer) for you. Happiness is right there at arms reach…
Pray… be at peace… find joy… be grateful…
