James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." We've all had to make tough decisions. And in our shortsightedness, we can often become confused when it comes to God's long-term will for our lives. Thankfully, God is willing to give us the wisdom to make these decisions. We may not know the true costs and benefits until later on down the road. But when we pray, God will grant us the clarity to decide and the grace to rise, no matter where we end up.

Faith-In-Action:  Confusion arises when your mind is trying to figure out the perfect solution to a situation and it is unable to do so because it sees a negative in every possible outcome.

The mind gets plagued with all these 'What If' questions. What if I get rejected? What if everyone laughs at me? What if I am not able to live up to everyone's expectations? What if I fail? So on and so forth.  

When you live by old mindsets you live in the world of perceptions, no perception is the ultimate truth. Life is ultimately uncertain, old mindsets always seek certainty and hence the conflict and confusion. So you can see that if you live by old mindsets you are forever bound to confusion, no matter how many self-improvements seminars you attend! 

Walk by Faith today an draw your strength from God and not on your own self-reliance. Build up your spiritual muscles up by "fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith" (Heb 12: 2).  If we are focused exclusively on Him, our faith is being made perfect.
