A Blueprint for Making Decisions
Episode #13
Do you have a blueprint for making decisions? You should, because all of us make decisions 24/7 – but how often do we take our decisions – even if they are small to the Lord in prayer? In this podcast, I discuss a blueprint for making decisions with prayer.

Decision making is always tough, but sometimes, for the little things, in particular, we often put God in a box, and don’t want to “bother Him” with the little things or we feel it is too silly to ask. Nothing is too little or too big for our God – He is the Almighty One – ready to hear the prayers from the hearts of His children. How many of you pray for a parking spot? I know I did and even had my children join in prayer. What a wonderful example of the power of prayer and the power of asking God for everything, every decision.
Today we will discuss those prayers that involve making a decision. I believe this is a blueprint that will help you tremendously. I will share in podcast 14 a more in-depth prayer blueprint for making major decisions through prayer.
Blueprint For Making Decisions
- Pray specifically for a need.
- Of course, God already knows but it helps us to fine-tune our ask
- Shows us whether a decision is necessary or not
- Give it to the Lord – and do not dwell on it further.
- Allowing God to be God of every aspect of our lives
- Giving it to the Lord allows us to release our needs into His hands
- Accepting God’s will in our life
- Read Scripture –
- Daily, and when in prayer for a decision more often
- Listen after you pray
- Pray specifically for your needs and ask the Lord to give you the gift of knowledge about what to do.
- Gifts of the Holy Spirit are many, ask for specific gifts
- Our subconscious listens and often when we are in tune with God
- Ideas will come into our minds, miraculously
- We can pray and think about those ideas.
- Write anything down that comes to you.
- Journal ideas as they come
- Write down pertinent scripture verses
- Look into your options
- Being informed is important.
- Research your options
- Pray about any thoughts that come to mind and ask the Lord to confirm these.
- Do you have peace of mind?
- Peace about a decision is a sign from the Lord that it is right.
- If you are stressed or agitated keep praying!
- Make a decision.
- If you can’t make a decision… wait!
- Pray and continue to read scripture.
- Once you make a decision trust in the Lord and give it to Him.
- Ask the Lord to go ahead of you and prepare the way.
- Give all the glory and praise to God!
Remember, this is only a blueprint – you can never put God in a box, He is worthy of all the glory, honor and praise – we are only His instruments. Use this blueprint to help you in your decision making and often it will just come naturally. Reaching out in prayer is a sign that you are open to God’s will in your life. I pray the Lord blesses you in your decision making and helps guide you on your path!
