If You're Struggling to Let God Guide Your Decisions...

Does God sometimes get it wrong? Is He willing to do for you what He’s done for others? Why is it such a struggle to trust God’s guidance in decisions? In this episode, Bethany Barr Phillips explores the complexities of trusting God's guidance in our decisions.  She discusses the struggle of faith, the importance of obedience, and the need to trust in God's plan, even when it seems unclear. God isn’t always going to do things like we want, but He is worthy to be trusted in the wandering. Through biblical examples and personal insights, she encourages listeners to embrace the journey of faith and recognize that God’s guidance doesn’t exempt us from things that might hurt us. It’s His guidance that allows us to walk through it into the next season of our lives.   Takeaways We create a see saw effect of stress in our faith lives, b/c we get so fixated on being right, that we forget our main goal is to glorify God. Trusting God means accepting step-by-step guidance. Following God isn’t about knowing the whole plan. It’s not about trusting in the plan. It’s about trusting God. God’s guidance must be greater than people’s opinion. God's guidance does not exempt us from pain. Sometimes we wait for signs when God wants us to act.
