Peace in Decision Making

The Better Part - Intentional Living for Christian Moms with a Bible-Loving Catholic Mama

We make decisions CONSTANTLY as moms. From big ones like "Should we move?" or "Should we have another baby?" to very small ones like "Should spend time cleaning up before I work on the bills?" Not every decision weighs heavily, but the sheer number of decisions does weigh us down, especially when we don't have confidence on what we should do!

In this episode, we remember that the only true question we need to ask ourselves is "What does God want?" and that is often an easier question to answer. Here are five ways we can do that:

1. Be in relationship with Jesus (through daily prayer)
2. Read Scripture consistently
3. Take the time to ASK God and listen for His answer
4. Carefully discern big decisions
5. Accept God's permissive will (and forgive yourself when you get it wrong)

For discerning big decisions, I highly recommend the book What Does God Want by Fr. Michael Scanlan! It is practical, short, and great for evaluating opportunities and choices. I love it so much that I did a series over it on this podcast back when it was called 500 Seconds to Joy!
