Indecision and God's Leading

Just now- Today- and over these last few days I am at a point of indecision. I have done everything I know to do to resolve the situation- to help me make a good, sound, smart decision and yet things are no clearer. There is angst. There is a sense of unsettledness about my spirit. Should I do this or that- and if I do this will I miss on the possibility of that. I would love to have a burning bush to command me. I would love to hear the voice of God clearly say, "Charles you should........" but it has not come and the angst continues. If only I could know how this or that would turn out- If only I had more information. Phillipians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in all things by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God and the Peace of God which transcends understanding will gaurd your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
I can not look for the Peace in the granting of the request- but from Trusting in the Goodness and Love and Power of the Grantor.
This morning God has led me to the answer to end my angst. Prayer Oswald Chambers- May 26- "Pray without Ceasing." God always answers prayer. But I have prayed and yet still there is no clear- "Do this Charles"- answer. Ah, but there has been something. Something I can only describe as the rumbling of the Holy Spirit through my mind and heart - A sensation like hearing or feeling a hard wind blow. One of my favorite verses comes to mind-a message from God Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The rumblings of the Holy Spirit tell me God is with me. Phillipians 4:5 "The Lord is near" I hear Him say, " Seek Me Charles and stop worrying about how this or that will turn out. Trust Me Charles- Delight in Me Charles and see where I lead you. Be thankful in all things- Even in where you are right now- it is no mistake. Let go of your regrets over past decisions. Desire Me above all the rest and be Thankful - Rejoice in all things- Knowing- really knowing- I am with you and am working all this for your heart to become even more united to My Own Heart. Father in Heaven, I will trust You- I will seek You as my great desire- above all the other things that want a hold on me- Lead me in Your way for me- show me what You want me to do and show me in such a clear way that I can not even begin to deceive myself - nor can the enemy deceive me- to go any other way. Bring on me the Peace that transcends understanding- Grow me in my trusting You. All praise be to You my Lord Jesus, my Heavenly Father, Spirit of the Living God for how all of this will turn out. Thy Kingdom come- Thy Will be done. Amen
