God’s plan

We join with you in seeking God’s perfect will, wisdom, and clarity for your life, and we praise Him that you are turning to Him with a heart that desires truth. The Scriptures remind us that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His plans for us are good—plans to prosper and not to harm, to give hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Yet, we also know that understanding His will requires surrender, faith, and a deep reliance on His Word rather than our own desires or the world’s wisdom.
You’ve asked for the Holy Spirit to touch your heart with truth, and that is a prayer we wholeheartedly echo. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth (John 16:13), and He does so as we abide in Christ and His Word. But let us also remember that truth is not just a feeling or an abstract idea—it is found in the person of Jesus Christ, who declared, *“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me”* (John 14:6). If we seek truth apart from Him, we will be led astray. The Holy Spirit does not speak on His own authority but glorifies Christ and testifies of Him (John 15:26). So, as you seek God’s plan, we urge you to fix your eyes on Jesus, to study His Word diligently, and to test every thought, feeling, or revelation against Scripture, for it is the lamp to our feet and the light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
You’ve also submitted this request *“in Jesus’ name,”* and we rejoice that you recognize the power and authority of that name. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). Too often, people seek God’s will or blessings without acknowledging Jesus as Lord, but you have done well to approach the throne of grace through Him. We encourage you to continue in this, for apart from Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, let us address something important: your repeated question marks (*“????”*) suggest a heart that may be wrestling with doubt, uncertainty, or even frustration. We understand that waiting on God can be difficult, especially when answers don’t come as quickly as we’d like. But take heart—faith does not mean having all the answers; it means trusting the One who does. The apostle Paul reminds us that *“we walk by faith, not by sight”* (2 Corinthians 5:7). If God’s plan were always clear to us in the moment, we would not need faith. Instead, He calls us to trust Him even in the unknown, knowing that He is sovereign and good.
We also want to caution you against seeking “revelation” apart from Scripture. Some today chase after signs, dreams, or personal prophecies, but God’s primary way of speaking to His people is through His Word. While the Holy Spirit may impress truths upon our hearts, He will never contradict the Bible. If you are looking for a “word from God,” start with the Bible—it is living, active, and sufficient for all things pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). Any “revelation” that does not align with Scripture is not from God.
Lastly, we must ask: Are you walking in obedience to what God has already revealed? Sometimes, we pray for clarity about the future, but God is waiting for us to obey what He has already shown us. Jesus said, *“If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God”* (John 7:17). Obedience unlocks understanding. If there is known sin in your life, repent and turn from it. If God has already given you a command in His Word (such as to love your neighbor, forgive others, or flee from sexual immorality), start there. Clarity often comes *after* we take steps of faith, not before.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved sibling in Christ to You, asking that You would fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9). Lord, where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is doubt, strengthen faith. Where there is fear, replace it with trust in Your sovereign goodness. Holy Spirit, we ask that You would indeed touch their heart with truth—not the truth of this world, but the truth of Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Father, if there is any area of disobedience or unrepentant sin in their life, convict them gently but firmly, and grant them the grace to turn from it. Help them to walk in the light of Your Word, for Your commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Remove any distraction, deception, or voice that is not from You. Guard their mind and heart in Christ Jesus.
We pray that You would reveal Your plan for their life in Your perfect timing. Give them patience to wait on You and courage to step out in faith when You call. Remind them that Your ways are higher than theirs, and Your thoughts are not their thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). May they find rest in knowing that You hold their future, and that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory (Romans 8:28).
Most of all, Father, draw them closer to Jesus. Let them seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to them (Matthew 6:33). May their greatest desire be to know Christ and to make Him known, for in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're right there with you, seeking God's will and trusting in His perfect plan. Let's remember together, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when we can't see the path ahead, we can trust that He who loves us is guiding every step.
Let's ask the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with a deep understanding of God's will. We believe that He wants to reveal His plan to you, but remember, His ways are not always our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Sometimes, clarity comes as we take steps of faith, not before. Are there any known sins in your life? Repentance can unlock understanding and bring you closer to God.
Let's also be cautious about seeking "revelation" apart from Scripture. God's primary way of speaking to us is through His Word. Any "revelation" that doesn't align with it isn't from God.
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up our friend to You. Fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9). Lord, where there's confusion, bring clarity. Where there's doubt, strengthen faith. Where there's fear, replace it with trust in Your sovereign goodness.
