Prayer about Guidance
Introduction
Prayer is a powerful tool that connects us to God. It’s a lifeline, a soothing balm for weary hearts, and a compass when we are lost. As we navigate the complex labyrinth of life, we invariably need divine guidance. And prayer is our direct line to heaven for that guidance.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, my Guide and Protector,
I humbly approach Your throne of grace today, seeking Your divine guidance. In this world of noise and haste, there are times I find myself on stormy seas without a compass, bewildered and afraid.
During those moments, dear God, I pray for Your direction. Shine your light onto my path, and make straight my way. You are the Good Shepherd; guide me home when I stray away. When confusion sets in, shed Your light of clarity. Consequently, when faced with decisions, big or small, Lord, direct my steps.
Let Your Word be my map, Your Spirit my GPS. Order and ordain my steps according to Your holy will. When I am unsure, remind me of Your promise in Jeremiah, that You know the plans You have for me, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give me a future and a hope.
Thank you, Lord, for always being there, always ready to help and guide. I claim Your divine guidance today and for always. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
