Don't make decisions that will require prayer to repair, QUALITY DECISIONS ARE COST & TIME EFFECTIVE.
*Don’t Make Decisions That Will Require Prayer to Repair: The Power of Quality Choices.*
We’ve all been there, those moments when a quick decision leads to long-term consequences. A rushed marriage commitment, a reckless financial move, an emotional reaction that damages a relationship, or a career choice made out of pressure rather than purpose.
The truth is: Every decision has a cost.
But quality decisions are cost-effective, time-efficient, and stress-reducing. They don’t just prevent problems, they create opportunities.
Why Do We Make Poor Decisions?
* Emotional Impulses: Anger, excitement, or fear can cloud judgment.
* Pressure (Social or Personal): "Everyone else is doing it" or "I need to decide NOW."
* Lack of Clarity: Not defining what truly matters (values, goals, boundaries).
* Short-Term Thinking: Sacrificing future peace for instant gratification.
*The High Price of Bad Decisions*
* In Marriage: A harsh word, an unforgiving spirit, or an impulsive betrayal can take years to heal.
* In Youth Development: A wrong career move, toxic friendship, or reckless habit can derail destiny.
* In Finances: One irresponsible purchase or investment can lead to long-term debt.
*How to Make Quality Decisions*
✅ Pause Before Deciding: Sleep on it. Avoid rushed commitments.
✅ Seek Wise Counsel: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers, they succeed." (Proverbs 15:22)
✅ Weigh Long-Term Impact: Will this choice bring peace or pain in 5 years?
✅ Align with Your Values: Does this decision reflect who you are and who you want to be?
*A Challenge for You*
Think of one decision you’re facing right now, whether in your marriage, career, or personal growth. Ask yourself:
🔹 "If I make this choice, will I later need prayer (or a miracle) to fix it?"
🔹 "Is there a wiser, more intentional path?"
