As I face tough choices and hard situations, help me remember my belovedness, help me remember that I am Your child, and Your representative to the world around me. Help me be like Nehemiah, help me come to you for guidance, strength, provision, and protection. Lord, I’m here today with open hands and an open heart, ready to depend on you to help me through the day, and all it will bring my way. Thankfully, our Father in heaven will never leave or forsake us when we fall short of His glory ( Romans 3:23) and will guide us back to righteousness if we but ask Him in prayer for guidance.Ī Prayer for Guidance When Life is Challenging Do not let the distractions of the world mislead you from the kingdom of God and the path of righteousness we must seek. When we pray for God’s guidance and for discernment through the Holy Spirit, we can rest assured that God will bestow us with wisdom and the inspiration to live righteously!Īs said in Matthew 6, it is God's will that we first seek His kingdom and righteousness above all other desires and aims. He is our good Shepherd who leads us and He desires that we follow the path that leads to joy and peace. In Scripture, we are reminded of God’s guidance in our lives. He will not leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek.
