Discernment
In the intercession requests that come my way, prayer for guidance is second only to health issues.
Is this how it's supposed to be? Is the path supposed so obscure or do we just make it harder than needs to be?
The conventional wisdom seem to be that God doesn't let us know much beyond the next step so that it takes faith to be obedient and so that we aren't scared off by stuff that we can't currently imagine ourselves doing, but we will be prepared for when the time comes; but why do we have such a hard time figuring out what the next step is?
