In the absence of sin/immorality as I described, "go for it" is sometimes just the push that is needed to overcome the chains that bind.
Thanks to both (and everyone). Ears always open for anyone's further input down the road.

I will try - my way of telling Aron "you could put more effort into answering the question than using it to attack the recovery". I have taken the Psalm thing to the other thread where it belongs. The Psalm topic is something Aron and I have gone back and forth on for a while. Whatever helps you is the main thing. What will help one person will not help another - everyone is different. When I think about it some of the advice Aron, others and myself gave you is the very similar - make a choice, step out by faith, and God will lead. This may be opposite to a "wait and see" approach. I believe that God leads us in different ways depending on our maturity. Just as we would lead a child differently to how we would lead an adult. I would think about where I am at spiritually and what is the most appropriate way for God to lead me. As a new believer maybe dreams and visions are appropriate. As I get older maybe an inner thought or a hunch. Maybe a wait and see approach is better for someone impulsive. For someone more cautious and reserved, maybe a "go for it" approach is better.
