•A Prayer for When You Don't Know What to Do•
By Anthony Valente
👉 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
(Psalm 119:105)
One of the first steps toward making a tough decision is to seek God in prayer.
Perhaps you are in the midst of a difficult decision right now. If so, this prayer is for you.
✝️ Father in Heaven,
I come before You today with my mind swirling with different thoughts and feelings. I have a hard decision to make and I just don't know what to do. I feel helpless and confused. I'm worried about the consequences to my decision.
I worry about the impact my decision will have not only on myself but on others as well. To be honest, I fear making the wrong decision. Your word tells me that if I seek after wisdom You will provide it. So I am seeking You, the source and fountain of wisdom. You've written everything You want me to know in the pages of Your book, The Bible. I pray that as I read Your word, it would shape my wants and desires and longings. I pray that it would impress on me what matters most to You. I pray that as I consider the decision before me, that I would remember what Your word teaches about Your sovereignty and control over all things.
You know this problem before me. You know how it turns out. That's because You are the Alpha and the Omega. You know the end from the beginning. Nothing happens apart from Your will and plan. Not only are You sovereign, but You are good. All Your plans are holy, righteous, and good. I can trust that You know what is best for me. When I move forward with this decision, I know that it is Your will and that You will use it for my good and Your glory.
Forgive me for getting caught up in wanting to know the future and how everything turns out. Forgive me for treating You like a "magic 8 ball 🎱.” Forgive me for fearing the future and for waiting around in the hopes that the answer will be written on the wall. Help me to rest and trust in who You are. Help me to look to Jesus, knowing that if You gave of Your own Son to save me from sin, how will You not also be with me in all the challenges and decisions of my life? There is nothing and no one that can separate me from You; I have nothing to fear.
You are my Rock, my Savior, and my Deliverer. Be with me as I move forward in this time of confusion and difficulty. Above all, may Your will be done on earth, and in my life, as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' Name I Pray,
AMEN 🙏
Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
(Psalm 43:3)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them.
(Ephesians 5:13)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
(Psalm 32:8)
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
(Proverbs 6:23)
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
(John 16:13)
For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
(Psalm 18:28)
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
(Isaiah 30:21)
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
(James 1:5-6)
The LORD guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him.
(Psalm 37:23)
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.
(Proverbs 3:13-18)
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
(Matthew 7:7)
(pic verse)
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
(Psalm 119:105)
