Yielding and Heeding

Sometimes I take my time making the big decisions and that can be good and bad, depending on the situations. And then there are times I plow full speed ahead without pausing and end up doing and saying things I shouldn't. I have the hardest time waiting for things to happen, especially when i think i can control the outcome. What usually happens is I try too hard, or say something I shouldn't. But typically, I do it all wrong and I have to intercede to the Lord for some damage control. They don't even have to be "bad" things i do, not sins, but just the way I want to make things happen, not yielding and definitely not heeding. I'm not sure how many verses there are in the Bible that say, 'wait on the Lord', but i know that there are more than one, so that probably means waiting is imperative. I do not believe that the Lord wants us to wait on him for every little thing. Sometimes I feel like Christians fall into this trap that every single decision has to be run by the Lord for a yes or no. Dear Lord, should I wear black or white socks today? Does God care about your socks? Probably not, in all honesty I'm sure there are many little decisions we make everyday in our life that God doesn't give one iota about. I believe that is called free will. But I do think there are things God does care about, like the things we do that affect our relationship with Him and with others. What does God say is the most important highest calling? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. Simple, yet so not easy to follow. Truthfully, I kinda love myself sometimes way more than i love God or others. And even my "best" intentions of "loving" my neighbor have my own personal agenda stamped all over them. I don't know exactly what i am trying to say, except that i think there are moments i need to yield and think, "do i really need to say or do this?" And then maybe I need to heed the the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit telling me, just chill for a bit. It would probably save me a lot of grief down the road and a lot less damage control pleading.
