In part 4, the Pastor Lynn addresses the stress caused by indecision and emphasizes the importance of seeking God's guidance in life's choices. Drawing from Psalm 23:3, "He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake," the pastor explains that God, as the Good Shepherd, not only provides but also directs our paths. The sermon outlines four steps to let God guide us: admitting we need a guide, asking in faith for direction, listening for God's response, and trusting God even when we don't understand His ways. The pastor underscores that God's guidance is often found in His Word, through godly teachers, and through life's circumstances, and encourages believers to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to discern His will. Ultimately, the sermon calls for trust in God's plan, even when it seems unclear, promising that God's path leads to life and fulfillment.
