But making decisions about such advice can be overwhelmingly stressful. You very much want to serve your boss and the folks back home in a positive and effective manner.

Bob Perry is a former naval aviator who knows a thing or thirty three about decision-making under the most stressful conditions. And, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, he’s learned a great deal about how his personal faith shapes his approach to tough decisions.
That’s why I strongly encourage you to read his recent analysis for cross-examined.org entitled “The Key to Less Stressful Decision-Making,” the opening paragraph of which puts the issue in a way that may surprise you:
“’What is God’s will for my life?’ This is a common question to hear from someone who is pondering a difficult life decision. Making big decisions can be confusing. But using ‘God’s will’ as the benchmark for success adds a whole new element of agony to it all. The key to less stressful decision-making is to be clear about what that actually means.”
