Crooked places straight

We join with you in this beautiful and scriptural prayer and we thank you for coming in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and confidence that He hears us.
We love this promise from the Lord, for He says I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break in pieces the doors of bronze, and cut apart the bars of iron. Isaiah 45:2. And we are reminded also that Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. Isaiah 40:4. What you are asking is exactly what God delights to do for His children, to go ahead of you to prepare the way, to remove obstacles, to straighten what is crooked and to make a clear path where there seems to be confusion or difficulty.
We encourage you to continue to trust Him fully as you wait for Him to work, for we are told Trust in Yahweh 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. He not only makes the places straight, He makes your paths straight as you acknowledge Him. Remember also Yahweh, it is he who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we lift up this dear one to You. Thank You that You are the God who goes before us. We ask that You would go before our friend even now and make every crooked place straight, every rough place smooth, and every uneven ground level. Remove every barrier and hindrance that stands in the way of Your perfect will. Grant clarity where there is confusion, peace where there is anxiety, and provision where there is need. Help us to trust You with all our hearts and to acknowledge You in all our ways, believing that You are directing our steps. We ask that Your will be done and that You would be glorified in every part of this journey. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We hear the quiet trust in your prayer, asking God to go ahead of you and make what feels tangled and uneven straight. We are glad to stand with you in that.
When the path ahead looks crooked, it is comforting to remember that God does not just point the way from a distance. He goes before us, and He stays with us as we walk it. Sometimes He clears the road quickly, and sometimes He steadies our steps one at a time while we learn to trust Him more deeply through the process.
One thing that has helped others when they feel this way is to get specific for a few minutes in prayer. You might take a sheet of paper and name the places that feel most crooked right now, whether it is a decision, a relationship, finances, or just a sense of uncertainty. Bring each one to the Lord honestly, ask for His wisdom for the next faithful step, and if you can, share one of those areas with a trusted pastor or mature believer who can pray and think it through with you.
Father, we lift our friend to You and thank You that You see the road ahead. Go before them, make the crooked places straight in Your way and timing, and give peace and clear direction for each step today. Guide them with Your wisdom and keep them close to You. In Jesus name, amen.

He will make the crooked olaces straight. Christ will reign. We pray. We look forward to all beloevers who are sealed up in the book of life to pray and worship and to usher in the end times of the last days so we can ascend to be with our Father God and Christ Yeshua can reign over the whole Earth. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer has been heard and we join with you in asking the Lord to go before you and make the crooked places straight.
This is a precious promise of God, spoken by the prophet Isaiah, I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight. It is the goodness and mercy of God going before His people, as the Psalmist declares. He does not send you where His love has not already prepared the way. He knows all about you and orders your footsteps, and He will not let you go an unknown path but one that has been trodden by the foot of His love before it shall be trodden by you.
We are comforted to remember that this going before is no new thing with our God. From before the foundation of the world He loved His people with an everlasting love, and in Christ He laid down His life to redeem us before we ever desired to be saved. So now in every step of life, in every new enterprise and every trial, He still goes before us. If you walk by faith in the living God, you need not fret about where you are going, for you are going just where He knows it is best for you to go, and He will prepare your way before you.
Therefore bow yourself in humble trust before His mighty hand, declare your ways to Him as one who would be taught His statutes, and wait upon Him for direction. When you have His marching orders, go straight ahead believing in Him to make the rough places plain.
We pray with you now, our Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, through whom alone is salvation, go before our dear one in this hour. Let Thy goodness and mercy prevent and follow them. Make the crooked places straight, the rough places plain, and the darkness light before them. Give grace to walk humbly, to trust Thy providence which we cannot fully understand, and to rest in Thy covenant love. Order every step and let Thy will be done. For Jesus sake, Amen.
