If you’re feeling pressured to make a decision

Decisions start from the moment we wake up—like whether to hit snooze on our alarm or get out of bed. And they don’t stop there. We choose what to wear, what to eat, and things like whether to pack a lunch or buy it. 

Each decision throughout the day seems to create pressure to make sure we’re making the “best” one. But through my study of Christian Science, I’ve come to realize that decision-making doesn’t have to be stressful. When I turn to God, good, and listen to Him, I don’t have to struggle to make the “best” decision, because I know I’m being guided by infinite good and infinite intelligence. 

This is the moment when I learned that: One night, I was sitting on my grandparents’ porch in the mountains listening online to a testimony meeting held by my church each week. This meeting gives those who attend an opportunity to hear inspiring readings and share our own experiences of spiritual healing.
