I want to pray about this decision but I do not know what to say beyond asking God to tell me what to do.

“And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”

David returns to find his town burned and the families taken, with his own men talking about stoning him. Before any rescue attempt he asks God two specific questions: should I go, and will it work. He enquired through the priestly ephod in a covenant-era setting, so what carries over is the specificity of his asking rather than a guaranteed reply. He does not ask for general blessing on whatever he decides.

“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”

In Gethsemane, hours from arrest, Jesus prays with complete honesty about what he wants and then places it under his Father's will. Luke notes the physical distress; nothing about this scene is serene. The prayer holds two things at once, a real preference stated plainly and a genuine willingness to be overruled. That is a usable pattern for anyone facing a decision.
