Throughout my life I have made not the best decisions, Of course I was making those decisions based off my own understanding. As I have grown closer to God I have realized he gives people the gift of free will to make decisions and choose to love him. However, God wants people to make decisions within the framework of his will. So now I Seek guidance from God: When in doubt, look to the Word of God and ask for wisdom. Make decisions with the right motives: Decisions made with the desire to do what is good and right for God's glory will generally make things easier in the present. Consider the consequences: Some decisions have a significant impact on our lives, so it's important to consider the potential consequences.

Starting a journey with God is often a deeply personal and transformative experience. Here are some reasons why I started my Journey:

1. **Search for Meaning**: Many people embark on a spiritual journey when they seek deeper meaning and purpose in life. I felt a longing for something greater than myself prompting me to explore my faith.

2. **Life Challenges**: Sometimes, difficult circumstances—such as loss, hardship, or personal struggles—can lead individuals to seek solace and guidance in their faith. I have found comfort in the teachings of God during tough times.

3. **Community and Belonging**: The desire for connection and community can also inspire a journey with God. I have been drawn to a faith community that offered support, friendship, and a sense of belonging.

4. **Curiosity and Exploration**: A natural curiosity about spirituality and the divine has lead me to explore my faith. I have been intrigued by religious teachings, stories, or practices that resonated with me.

5. **Transformative Experiences**: Personal experiences, such as moments of clarity, inspiration, or even miraculous events, can ignite a desire to pursue a relationship with God. I have had a profound experience that changed my perspective.

6. **Desire for Guidance**: Life can be overwhelming, and many seek divine guidance to navigate challenges. I have turned to God for wisdom, strength, and direction in my life.

7. **Moral and Ethical Framework**: A journey with God has provided a foundation for understanding right and wrong, shaping my  values and guiding my decisions. I have sought a moral compass through my faith.

9. **Personal Growth**: Engaging with my spirituality can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. I have wanted to develop qualities like compassion, forgiveness, and love, which are often emphasized in religious teachings.

10. **Hope and Assurance**: In times of uncertainty, faith can offer hope and assurance. I have found comfort in the belief that there is a higher power looking out for me and that there is a plan for my life.

Reflecting on these reasons has helped me articulate my journey with God in a way that resonates with my personal experiences and feelings.

Dear God,

Surround me with Your love and protection, and bless those who will walk alongside me on this journey. Help us to support and uplift one another, fostering connections that inspire growth and understanding.

As I embrace this new chapter, may I remain open to Your guidance and trust in Your plan for my life. Let my heart be filled with gratitude for the opportunities that come my way, and may I always seek to reflect Your love and kindness in all that I do.

Thank You for being my constant companion. I place my journey in Your hands, knowing that with You, all things are possible.
