What Should I Do? When I Don't Know the Right Thing to Do

How do you make a wise decision when you genuinely don't know what the right thing to do is?

In the final episode of the What Should I Do? series, Jessica Cabrera shares a personal story about planning a much-needed vacation during a season of financial uncertainty—and discovering that God cares about even the ordinary decisions we face.

As Jessica and her husband prayed for wisdom, unexpected obstacles, disappointing news, and surprising generosity revealed something profound: God's guidance isn't always dramatic, but it is often deeply personal.

If you've ever prayed, "Lord, I honestly don't know what the wise thing to do is," this episode will encourage you to seek God's wisdom, trust His timing, and discover how faithfully He directs those who depend on Him.

Key Takeaway

When we genuinely don't know the wise decision, God invites us to depend on Him instead of ourselves. He often guides us through ordinary circumstances, teaching us that seeking His wisdom is more important than having all the answers.
