Main Scripture:
Psalm 143:8 (NIV) "8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."
As we go through life, we encounter different situations that require us to make decisions. Sometimes, we may feel unsure of which path to take, and that's where prayer comes in. Prayer is a powerful tool that we can use to connect with God and seek His guidance. When we pray, we invite God into our lives and ask Him to show us the way.
Listening is also essential when seeking God's guidance. We must take the time to be still and listen to His voice. Listening to God requires patience and practice. It's not always easy to discern His voice in the midst of all the noise, but with practice, we can learn to recognise His voice.
Trusting in God's plan for our lives is also crucial. Sometimes, we may not understand why things are happening the way they are, but we must trust that God has a plan and that He is working everything out for our good. When we trust in God, we can have peace knowing that He is in control.
As we seek God's guidance, we must also be willing to obey Him. Sometimes, God may lead us in a direction that we may not want to go, but we must trust that His plan is always the best for us. When we obey God, we open ourselves up to His blessings and favour.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love and guidance. Help us to seek you in all that we do and to listen to your voice as you guide us on this journey of life. Give us the courage to trust in your plan and the faith to follow wherever you may lead us. We pray that you will open our ears to hear your voice and give us the wisdom to discern your will. Help us to obey you and walk in your ways. We pray all this in Jesus' name. Amen.
