2. Pursue Wisdom through Prayer

Godly Decisions

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will

be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive

anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:5-8

given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of

the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I

have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

6. Consider others in the process

Godly Decisions

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant

than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of

others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.

32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I try to please

everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they

may be saved.1 Corinthians 10:32-33
