You stand at a crossroads, unsure of your next step.

🤔 You want to make a change, but you’re afraid of making the wrong choice.
🤔 You feel torn between what you “should” do and what actually feels right.
🤔 You don’t want to waste time chasing something that doesn’t truly align.

Here’s the truth: the best decisions are made from your values, not your fears.

📖 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33)
When your choices align with what truly matters, everything else begins to fall into place.

Why Core Values Should Guide Your Next Step

Your core values are your compass. They define what matters most—faith, integrity, purpose, relationships, and legacy.

Throughout scripture, we see people making bold choices based on values rather than convenience. When Jesus called His disciples, they didn’t follow because it was easy. They followed because they valued truth and purpose more than comfort (Matthew 4:19–20).

The most fulfilling choices you’ll ever make are the ones that reflect who you are and who God is calling you to become.

How to Align Your Next Step with Your Core Values

🚀 Identify your core values. Write down the five things that matter most to you in this season.
🚀 Ask: Does this choice align with my values? If it doesn’t, it may not be the right path.
🚀 Look at how you spend your time. Your calendar and habits reveal what you actually prioritize—do they match your values?
🚀 Pray for clarity. Invite God into your decisions and trust His guidance.
🚀 Trust the “no.” Saying no to the wrong thing makes room for the right thing.

📖 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” (Proverbs 16:3)

Example: Choosing a Path That Aligns

Imagine you’re considering a new career opportunity.

• If your top values are family, faith, and impact, ask:
  • Will this role give me time with my loved ones?
  • Will it allow me to live out my faith?
  • Will I make a meaningful difference?

If the answer is no, it may not be the right step. But if it aligns? That could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

When your decisions reflect your deepest values, you’ll feel peace, clarity, and confidence moving forward.
