#Prayers for guidance series#
Below is a series of prayers that I hope will help you as you seek to be guided by our great Father, who loves us. This helps me leave behind my self-reliance and trust in His ability to lead me. However, that sounds a little too simple, and in reality, I don’t only meditate on His word, but I pray to Him for guidance. The psalmist understands that we find direction by meditating on God’s word. I have more understanding than the elders, I have more insight than all my teachers, This beautiful passage from the Psalms helps me understand that He will do this primarily through His word. This encouragement from Jesus has helped me stop worrying about tomorrow and trust that He will lead me and guide me.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Over the last two years, I have had to let go of my self-reliance and lean into the words of Jesus. So much of my time was focused on planning. I remember being so confident and believing I could accurately predict the future. If there is one thing that the covid pandemic has taught me, it’s that I do not know what tomorrow may bring. Prayers for guidance have sustained me over the last few years.
