Guided Prayer
One · Pause
Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Two · Check in
What decision is in front of you, and what is the deadline?
Three · Scripture · King James Version
“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
Proverbs 16:3 · KJV
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 · KJV
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
James 1:5 · KJV
Four · Reflection
Commit the work to God and your thoughts get established — clarity often follows surrender, not the other way around.
Five · Pray this
Lord, I commit this work and this decision to You. Establish my thoughts. Give me wisdom liberally as You promised, and close the doors I should not walk through. In Jesus' name, amen.
Six · Now in your own words
Offer the outcome to God before you ask for the answer.
Seven · Private journal
The options, what each would cost, and what I sense God leading toward.
Eight · One practical step
Gather one missing piece of information and seek one wise opinion.
Before you go
You do not have to force clarity. Committed work gets established.
