I am asked for advice often, and getting them to address pros and cons is where I start too. I take it a step further, and write down what they tell me. I have been known to add some points that escaped the first cut.

If it's a life changing decision, I give them the list to read and pray over; and edit for a second meeting. Usually they have made their decision by this time, and I ask them to defend their position. This tends to strengthen their final decision, and bring them peace!

Now for some unsolicited advice for you, take the herbal fever few; and it will stop your headaches before they move to migraines!

Be blessed and keep posting....
