5 Tips for Making Decisions

young woman

I recently had a challenge in making a decision. I’m 17 and about to graduate high school, and there are so many choices I have to make. But because I look unto Christ, I know that He will help me in my life.

When I look unto Jesus Christ, He seems to give me a sense of security and peace, and I know that the decisions I make now will help me.

  1. Pray: When I pray, I seem to know what I have to do. I communicate with God the Father.

  2. Read: When I read the scriptures, I feel Christ’s love for me.

  3. Obey: I try to keep the commandments.

  4. Study: Seminary has really helped me in knowing what God wants me to do.

  5. Serve: Serving others is one of the ways I can understand what God wants me to do.
