🧠 STRUGGLING TO MAKE A DECISION?
You're not alone. Whether you're torn between options or just looking for clarity, decision-making can be tough — especially when it really matters.

Logic, gut instinct, or even prayer — we all navigate choices in different ways. But you don’t have to do it alone.

📖 Turn to page 47 of the latest Top Ender Magazine for practical advice on decision-making and a full list of ADF Chaplains in the NT who are here to help – no matter how big or small the decision.

Sometimes, reaching out is the best decision you can make. 💬
Thanks to Jon Tyson for the image!
