How often we find ourselves in situations that call us to make a decision. Some decisions do not require much thought. We do not need any brain storming when it involves making choices about things we enjoy doing. Then there are the major decisions in life: which school to pick for a child, which job offer to take up or even whether or not to emigrate. Often these decisions cause tension and anxiety due to risks or uncertainty. How could we deal with these decisions? We might follow lengthy processes to take accurate decisions which pose the least risk. We may write a pro’s and con’s list, we may ask our friends or seek spiritual advice. Jesus was in such a situation when he had to choose his twelve disciples who were critical to his ministry. Jesus shows us his method: spending the entire night in prayer to the Father. Just like Jesus knew exactly who his twelve disciples should be, the Lord will guide us if we seek his guidance.

PRAYER: Abba Father, show me the path that I should take. Amen.
