Faith and Decisions

A very confusing topic I have been dealing with lately is faith in God and making choices. Now I have heard for most of my life to always pray about decisions I have to make or am not sure about. What I find confusing about this topic is the distinction between us having free will and making our own decision and God helping us make the right one. It is hard for me to see the distinction between praying and asking for God to help with a choice but then in the end I have to make the actual decision. Is the idea about asking God for help is to have peace in the decision you make regardless of what it is? God will not come into your body and speak the words for every or any decision you have to make however He can and will give you peace about your decision if you trust that the decision you made was in conjunction with his will. A topic for later discussion will be if there is a difference between God's will and his plan but I digress. Life is full of literally billions of choices we have to make and as I am getting older I am realizing that the decisions come faster and have greater impact than when I just had to decide which juice I wanted in kindergarten. My problem right now though is my faith in God isn't where I want it to be or it needs to be. Especially in these days where my decisions will dictate how most of the rest of my life will be why wouldn't I want to lean on God who knows more than I can possibly imagine. Faith is not easy and neither is making important decisions but I can only hope that I have the courage to have faith in that which I can not see and there by be blessed through that faith.
