As August moves on, we’ve arrived in a season of exam results
For many, time to make decisions about what the next steps in our lives look like. After a lot of preparation, revision and waiting, the time has come to look ahead, to consider what and where we’d like to focus our energies alongside pondering what God might be calling us to.
Milestones like this happen throughout our lives and whilst some of us might have a really clear sense of purpose for ‘what’s next’, others might feel some uncertainty. Being empowered as we navigate our way, taking these next steps in life, can mean including parents, carers as well as other adults and friends around us who are trusted companions in our life and faith journeys.
Involving God in our decision making – praying, reflecting on our gifts and skills and learning from stories we read in the Bible, is a vital way that can help us find a path through. It’s worth remembering we don’t do any of this alone! God is with us every step of the wayand that can give us confidence when making big choices.
Questions:
- What are the big steps in life that you’re considering right now?
- How can God empower you in making life choices that are right for you at this time?
- Who are the adults and friends you can speak with, who will help and empower you as you look ahead?
