Guided Prayer

Needing Direction

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 crossroads are you standing at?

Three · Scripture · King James Version

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

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Psalm 32:8 · 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

God promises to direct your paths as you acknowledge Him in all your ways. Guidance is usually revealed by walking, not by waiting for certainty.

Five · Pray this

Father, I acknowledge You in this. Direct my paths. Instruct me and teach me the way I should go, and give me wisdom to recognize it. In Jesus' name, amen.

Six · Now in your own words

Ask: 'Lord, what is the next faithful step?'

Seven · Private journal

My options, my fears, and what obedience looks like right now.

Eight · One practical step

Take one step in the most faithful direction and watch what opens.

Before you go

He will direct your paths. You can move without full certainty.
