Which Way?

There are times when important decisions must be made in life. We have all
experienced those times when it seems impossible to come up with the 'sure fire'
correct decision. There is a way to do it, and this was my choice:

WHICH WAY?

The words are bouncing around in my mind..
But I can't seem to get them out.
It's a perplexing feeling to say the least,
What's all this confusion about?

I have this feeling going through me..
A tugging and pulling within:
First it's a 'NO' and then a 'Yes'..
I wonder which one will win?

Have you ever had things all straight in your mind..
Knowing full well the course that you've set,
There's no way you'd consider changing your plans,
Then suddenly, those plans seem all wet!?

You begin to consider an alternate way
That might lead in the same direction..
Then the YES and the NO start doing their thing,
And again these plans need correction!

Confusion, perplexity, ruffled, unsettled...
Are these just words that we hear?
Or are they subtle tools of satan,
To engulf us, in a prison of fear?

There is a way to settle it all,
That's the direction I'd rather work toward..
I know I can't handle it...just ME, by MYSELF,
So I'm giving it ALL to YOU, Lord!
