I feel like I am hurting others with my actions and my decisions. Dear Lord, you know my decision before I make it. You know the outcome before it happens. You are the beginning and the end. You, who is most Holy. I ask that you help me to put all of my trust and all of my faith in you. You who know what is best for me and for all of your people.
