Have you ever been totally confused about what to do? Maybe you didn’t know which friend to sit with at lunch or you couldn’t figure out the answer to a math problem or you weren’t sure if you should tell your parents about something that happened. Life can be confusing sometimes!

Here’s some really good news: When you know Jesus as your Savior, you already have access to God’s wisdom! You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. God promises that if you ask Him for wisdom, He’ll give it to you!

The Bible says a person with wisdom is more powerful than ten rulers of a city! That’s pretty powerful! Why? Because when you have God’s wisdom, you can make good choices even when things are complicated. You can know the right thing to do even when everything is confusing. You can face problems with confidence because God is guiding you!

When you’re perplexed (which is a fun word that means “really confused!”), here’s how you can make good, wise choices. These come straight from the Bible! First, pray and ask God for His guidance and wisdom. Then, look in the Bible for the answer—you might not find the word “bullying” in the Bible, but you can find Jesus’ words about “loving your enemy.” If you need more help, reach out to someone—like a parent or your pastor—who is wise and get their advice.

Take Action: Are you confused about something right now? Maybe a problem with a friend, a decision you need to make, or something you don’t understand. Follow the steps above: Pray for wisdom, look in the Bible, and ask for advice. Trust that God will guide you when you’re perplexed!
