My son is getting old enough to make more decisions. He still needs direction and guidance... But he is making more and more decisions. When he was a little boy I started praying with him a prayer that I still pray with him today. I read this somewhere years ago and it has stuck with me. My prayer is that it will stick with him too.
"Lord give Cole the wisdom to do what is right, give him the courage to do it, even when it is hard."
Do you ever ask God to give you wisdom? Do you ever ask the Creator of the universe to give you the courage to make those decisions? Even when everything around you and everybody else around you is making the wrong decisions. Who guides you? What guides your steps in life? Sometimes the right steps are the hardest ones to take, but they are the most rewarding. Listen to your heart when God nudges and gather the courage to to take the step that He is asking you to take.
By the way, I am preaching to myself. I have some big steps to take. How about you?

I wish sometimes I was still a child and had someone making all my decisions for me.
That's a great prayer for Cole and one I need.
I'm a 35 year-old child of God and still feel like I have such a long way to go.
Thanks.
