Siya ang una sa lahat, at ang buong sansinukob ay nananatiling nasa kaayusan sa pamamagitan niya.

Mga Taga-Colosas 1:17

Narinig mo na ba ang phrase na analysis paralysis? Ito ‘yung hindi ka makagawa ng desisyon dahil sa overthinking. Marami sa atin suffer from this syndrome dahil gusto natin guaranteed ang results. Kung tataya ka, gusto mo, sure na mananalo ka. Kaya lang wala naman talaga nakakaalam kung anong mangyayari sa future ’di ba? Si Lord lang ang may alam.

Kung takot ka ring gumawa ng desisyon, I have three reminders to give you courage to decide. Una, binigyan ka ng Diyos ng sapat na talino to recognize right from wrong. Binigyan ka rin Niya ng freedom to choose. God is not a dictator who will harshly order you to do something, but instead, He will gently guide your steps. Nasa iyo na ‘yun kung susunod ka o hindi.

Pangalawa, the Bible is full of reminders on how to make decisions. Sabi ni Lord, if we lack wisdom, ask Him (James 1:5); when we are anxious, pray (Philippians 4:6-7); we should commit to Him everything we do (Proverbs 16:3), at marami pang iba. Magtiwala ka sa Word ni God to strengthen your faith.

Pangatlo, leave the outcome of your decision to the Lord. After weighing your options, praying, and seeking counsel, it’s time to decide. Nakakatakot kasi hindi mo kita ang master plan ng Lord sa buhay mo. But He holds the giant puzzle of your life. He reveals each piece when we trust and walk alongside Him. The Lord desires that we move forward in faith and avoid the paralysis of indecision. Trade your takot for trust.
