An important part of being self-reliant is learning how to make decisions for ourselves. God is willing to guide us, but He does not always tell us exactly what to do. He has given us agency and expects us to use our knowledge, experience, and faith to guide our own decisions. We can then ask Him to confirm to us whether our decision is correct. All of our decisions have consequences, some of which have little or nothing to do with our eternal salvation and others of which have everything to do with it.
