God is greater than all my sin

Grace, grace, God's grace, 
grace that will pardon and cleanse within; 
grace, grace, God's grace, 
grace that is greater than all my sin! 

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
My sins they are many, his mercy is more

...but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. -Romans 5:20-21

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken." -Isaiah 1:18-20

Stuck

Dear Heavenly Father,

I feel really stuck right now, I don't know what to do.  I don't know if I should keep going or stop.  I am afraid.  I just long for better and happier days, and I long for freedom.  I'm not sure what is the best, will you please show me and guide me?  Will you please reveal what is the best for me?  People to my left and right are giving me conflicting counsel, which makes things harder.  It is difficult to discern what the wisest and best decision to make right now is.  Sometimes it seems so "easy" and "obvious" what I should do, but I don't know why I don't feel confident about going that route.  I don't want to regret my decision.  I don't want to be ruled by fear, yet I don't want to be hasty.

I just don't know what to do, God.  Please help me.  Please let me hear Your voice clearly.  I need to hear You, I need You to show me what to do.  Help me to trust in You and to keep walking the path of faith.  Forgive me for not trusting in You, for being crippled and paralyzed by fear, for doubting Your goodness, for being of such little faith.
