Pray or decide

I just read this blog post and i have to say that he says some really good things. I especially liked his fourth point about deferring decision making "to pray about it..."

Ugh.

It eats away at my insides when someone at a meeting says this.

Either... the decision is important and on the agenda (and everyone hopefully has prayed about the solution already) or the decision isn't REALLY essential.

Delaying a critical decision to "further discern the Lord's will" and come to a conclusion in a month is often needless delay.

What would happen if the next time someone wants to "seek God's face on the matter" you replied that the meeting should immediately pray and then decide. Technically, you are giving them what they want...

Surely God can speak in ten focused minutes of prayer just as clearly as He can over a month of disjointed petition. Yeah?
