Yup, but I try to just pray for knowledge of God's will and the power to carry it out.

I pray for guidance all the time. Mostly, I pray that the Lord will allow me to see where He wants me to go.
Doesn't always work, simply because I'm a bit stubborn sometimes and don't pay attention to Him.

I get a mouse, shave it, then draw a line bisecting it with a black magic marker, I write yes on one side, and no on the other(or whatever two options I have, or divide it into 4 sections for 4 possibilities). I place in the microwave and turn it on for 10 minutes on high. when the mouse explodes I open the microwave and see which answer is closer to the middle of the carousel. in the event of them being equidistant, I repeat the procedure.
prayer is boring in a world of technology |

No, I just think through to various options, pro and con to each, and make a decision. Once made, I stick to it and follow through with the plan. Decisiveness is key. Almost always, it works out fine.

I ask for the wisdom to make the right choices, so far so good.

Let us pray - Dear, God - please bless and watch over VoodooChile's nut sack, and guide the doctor's hand so VoodooChile doesn't end up singing soprano in the Vienna Boy's Choir. There, feel better now?

Yup. God isn't a magic eight-ball I can use whenever I feel like it, but he does have all the answers.

+1 I ask Him for a guiding hand and the wisdom needed to overcome problems and other bumps in the path. But If he hasn't already given me the tool, I just wasn't meant to have it.

Decisions in my line of work usually do not alow enough time to pray. So I hopefully make the most rashional decision. THEN I pray that it was the right one!

This thread reminds me of the arab military thread I saw earlier. "Allah will guide us." The supreme being will look out for the prepared. Period. Thanks for the grin!

Absolutely.
I don't pray as much as I should. I beleive GOd might send me hard times / tough decisions just to get me to spend more time with Him. Suggestion - use Scripture verses top frame teh content of your prayer. Praying God's word increases teh liklihood your prayer will be pleasing to God. |

I pray for wisdom to make a good decision, but the responsibility for my decisions is mine alone. I find its better to use God's Word as a decision maker, dovetailed with prayer that God will help me understand how His Word applies to teh life situation. |

I usually get a big bowl of milk, put in some alpha-bits cereal, and concentrate real hard on my question. If they don't spell anything that seems remotely related to my question I assume It's OK to do whatever I want. No, seriously, I frequently experience intuitive insights or 'nudges' to do things that I attribute to my connection with "something" greater than myself. I have found that given some frequent attention and recognition these occurances become more common . The religionist say it is god/gods/goddesses, the psychologist call it intuition and say it's source is the unconcious mind or subconcious mind, the new agers say it's your 'higher self'. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to care what you call it, because it works for everyone that pays attention. |
