making distant decisions

many of us fail because 
we made distant decisions in life 
and then we tried to blame the devil 
when it caused us nothing but strife 
because distant decisions can be detrimental 
to your destiny 
as you didn't consult God in prayer
nor give Him the opportunity 
to weigh in on the path 
or the choice you had to make
for you went rogue and completely 
forsaken your faith 

to say you trust in God 
and then don't go to Him in prayer
you then make dumb decisions 
and find yourself in dire despair
so stop blaming the devil for the unsanctioned choices you decide 
for when you get to the judgment gate
the Lord God will tell you to please step aside
