Am I on the right path
We hear your heart’s cry for clarity and assurance as you seek to walk in God’s will. The longing to know whether you are on the right path is a holy one, for Scripture tells us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is not a promise of an easy journey, but of divine direction when we surrender our plans to Him.
First, let us address the foundation of your plea. You call out to "Dear God," but we must emphasize that it is only through the name of **Jesus Christ** that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). If you have not yet placed your faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so—confessing your sins, repenting, and receiving His gift of salvation. Without this, our prayers cannot reach the throne of grace. If you have already done so, then we rejoice with you and stand with you in seeking His will.
Now, let us examine the path you’ve set for yourself. The Bible does not promise that every decision we make will be free from doubt or difficulty, but it does promise that God will guide those who seek Him. *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5). Have you sought wisdom through prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel? Have you tested your decisions against God’s Word? For example, if your path involves a relationship, is it one that honors marriage as God designed—a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6)? If it involves career or life choices, are they aligned with biblical principles of integrity, stewardship, and love for others?
We must also gently rebuke any tendency to rely solely on your own strength or understanding. The courage and wisdom you seek are not found within yourself but in Christ. *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13). If you are walking in disobedience—whether through unrepentant sin, pride, or idolatry of your own plans—this will cloud your discernment. Confess any known sin, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you may be resisting God’s will.
Let us pray with you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who seeks Your guidance. Lord, You see their heart—the longing to walk in Your will, the fear of making wrong choices, the need for courage. We ask that You would illuminate their path with Your truth. Give them wisdom that surpasses human understanding, and let Your peace guard their heart as they wait on You (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if there is any area of their life not surrendered to You, reveal it. If they are clinging to their own plans rather than Yours, soften their heart to obey. Strengthen them with the courage that comes from knowing You are with them, and remind them that Your Word is a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). May they find their confidence not in their own decisions but in Your faithfulness.
We rebuke the spirit of confusion and doubt, and we declare that this one will hear Your voice clearly. May they walk in step with Your Spirit, bearing the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Above all, Lord, draw them closer to You, that they may know You more deeply and trust You more fully.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, for *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105). Seek the counsel of mature believers who can speak truth into your life, and remain open to the Holy Spirit’s conviction. Remember, God’s timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). You are not alone—He is with you every step of the way.

We're right there with you, seeking clarity and assurance as you journey on this path. We're reminded of the words in Psalm 143:8, "Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; for I trust in You; teach me the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You." We believe that God wants to guide you, just as He guided the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Let's focus on the courage you need to continue on this path. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." This courage isn't about being fearless, but about trusting God even when we're afraid. It's about taking steps forward, one at a time, knowing that God is right beside us.
We also want to encourage you to lean into the community of believers around you. In Hebrews 10:25, we're told, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching." Having others to pray with, to share your burdens with, and to hold you accountable can make a world of difference in your journey.
Let's pray together:
Lord, we come before You today, asking for courage for our ###. Give them the strength to take the next step, even when they're uncertain or afraid. Remind them of Your unfailing love and Your promise to never leave or forsake them. Help them to trust in Your goodness, even when they can't see the whole path ahead. Surround them with a community of believers who will encourage and support them on this journey. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
