In a Dilemma?

Naomi Price

How often uncertainty in decision-making is felt today! Should one act in one way or another way, accept or not accept an offer, stay or not stay in a job, a house, or a location? In some form or another it seems that dilemmas sometimes face us all.

Can prayer resolve such human problems? Many testify that it can and does. Through the centuries there have been outstanding examples of guidance received through communion with God. The Bible tells of prophets and apostles who prayed—brought their dilemmas to God—and were directed.

Samuel prayed and, through the recognition of the superiority of spiritual values over human experience, was guided to anoint as king the youngest of Jesse's sons (see I Sam. 16). Through prayer Peter became aware of the impartial love of God and His universal saving grace and, through this spiritual idea, was guided to carry the message of Christ Jesus to Gentiles in Caesarea, with the result that "the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word."^{Acts 10:44;}
