I have always had this concept of weak decisions. The idea being that some times we make decisions based on safety, decisions that keep us from challenges and growth. Notice these aren't necessarily bad decisions. They are just safe decisions. Decisions that are made so we don't have to grow and knock down our pre-concieved boundaries. There are some Biblical examples of these types of decisions. Most notably Peter denying Jesus (Matthew 26: 69-75) and Thomas doubting Jesus (John 20: 24-29).
But weak decisions don't doom us. We still have the ability to grow and learn from these decisions. The peace and forgiveness of Christ frees us from past weak decisions. It also implores us to make stronger decisions.
Heavenly Father,
Help us to make strong decisions.
Help us to grow.
You are always with us, because You are the one true Living God.
Let this give us the courage and power to go out in the world and do Your Will.
It is in Jesus' name,
Amen.
