The Next Right Thing

97: Take a 10 Minute Timeout


Listen Later

In nearly every major and sometimes not-so-major decision, I've prayed for clarity. I've shared here before how in times of cloudy decision-making frustration, I've even Googled how to make a decision.

More and more, though, every time the word "clarity" comes out of my mouth, I hesitate. I'm realizing for me, clarity can be a more acceptable word for control. If I could just see the future, I could make a good decision about this part of my life.

Today's practice is to take a 10 minute timeout and consider a few simple questions in the presence of God. Listen in.
