"Every day I wake up and it's a battle and a challenge and a choice to pause in the morning and ask the Lord, "What would you have me do with this day?" OR hit the ground and immediately start thinking about my schedule and all the things I need to do and all the boxes I need to check...this verse is a true daily surrendering...it is the perfect prayer to start your day." — Vera Schmitz

On today's episode:  Does making big (and small) decisions stress you out? Today, Natalie and Vera talk about the practice of asking God into our decisions. Specifically, they challenge us to pray, "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths," (Psalm 25:4) when we make decisions and consider what a difference it would make. Find out more about this verse and how to incorporate it into your life by reading Chapter 9 of Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth.
