At the Intersection

I went for a nice hour long run on Saturday. It ended up logging 7 miles. On my long runs, I'm not always sure where I'm going to go or end up. There are some busy streets that I run through and as I'm approaching I send a quick prayer to God to let me know which way I should go. If cars are coming, I turn left or right, if no cars, I keep heading straight. I don't do this for every intersection, just ones where I know I need to make a concrete decision. Sometimes it's when I don't think I want to run anymore - I just say, "God, if you want me to run a little longer today, if there are no cars, I'll go straight, if there are cars, I'll turn left and start back home." I know this sounds extremely simple as to my request to the Lord Almighty, but I trust the decision and keep on running. Do I do this in life decisions as much as I should? Probably not, only when faced with really tough decisions, or hardships, or trials - and maybe not even then. But we should be asking God to help with our decisions all the time - even the simple ones.
