How could I choose?

I love tennis. I’ve been playing for about seven years, and I was planning to continue my athletic journey my junior year of high school. But as the spring sports registration deadline got closer, I kept wondering if I should focus instead on accomplishing volunteer hours for a program for Christian Scientists I’d been part of. I was conflicted and didn’t know what to do. 

I talked to my family about my dilemma, and they reminded me that I could turn to God in prayer for an answer, like I’d learned in Christian Science Sunday School. Although I did turn to God and pray about my situation, I kept feeling that there was no right answer and that no matter what I chose, I would regret it. 

I was conflicted and didn’t know what to do.
