Heavenly Father,

I come before you with a heart open to your leading and a spirit surrendered to your will. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105), and I seek your guidance in every aspect of my life.

Lord, your thoughts are higher than my thoughts, and your ways are higher than my ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). I acknowledge my limited understanding and dependence on your wisdom. As I face decisions and uncertainties, I pray for clarity and discernment.

Your Word promises that if we lack wisdom, we can ask of you, and you will give generously without finding fault (James 1:5). I humbly come before you, asking for the wisdom that comes from above, a wisdom that is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy, and good fruit (James 3:17).

Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd, and your sheep know your voice (John 10:14, 27). Open my ears to hear your gentle guidance, and grant me the courage to follow where you lead. Help me to discern your will and align my desires with yours.

I surrender my plans and dreams to you, trusting that you have a purpose and plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11). May your will be done, and may I find joy and fulfillment in walking in obedience to your perfect plan.

I pray for patience as I wait on you, knowing that your timing is perfect. Increase my faith and help me to trust that you will direct my steps (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Thank you, Lord, for being a God who guides and directs those who seek you. May I walk in the paths you have laid out for me, bringing glory to your name.

In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.

 

 

Praise God for He is
