Bless me with clarity to see how this decision fits your deepest call to me. Give me the courage to look within and to see and evaluate my priorities. Give me the desire to desire to be directed in all my life's decisions by you alone. Any other questions around attachments that may come up. As you list the advantages and disadvantages for each alternative, be particularly attentive to your feelings of consolation and desolation.
Consolation brings feelings of freedom, peace, harmony, contentment.
It draws me out of myself towards God and others. It energizes, encourages and inspires. Desolation leads me more deeply into myself and shuts out God and others. Feelings of fear, anxiety, heaviness, restlessness, grandiosity, discouragement, alienation, lack of interest in prayer and things of God show me that I am moving away from my own best interests and God's yearnings for me. Use your imagination now Recall consolation in some prior decision and test the alternatives by imaginatively creating a scenario in which you play out the alternatives.
