“Pray before you make decisions.”

I attended Mass today, and the homily was beautiful. It was a reminder that before making any big decision, whether it is who to marry, what job to take, or where to go next, we should pause and pray.

Ask God for wisdom, for clarity, and for the strength to follow the right path even when it is not the easiest one.

We often rush into choices, relying on our own understanding. But God sees what we cannot. He knows what is ahead, the dangers we do not notice, and the blessings we do not expect.

Prayer is not just about asking for answers. It brings peace. It reminds us that we are not alone in our choices.

Think of Abraham. God called him to leave his home and go to a land he did not even know. It was not comfortable. It was not easy. But he trusted. And because of that faith, he stepped into the greatest blessings.

The same goes for us. Sometimes, God will not give us what we want, but He will always give us what we need. His plans may not match ours, but they are always better.

So before you decide, ask God. And when He answers, no matter how uncertain it feels, trust Him. Because where He leads, peace follows.
