Guidance & wisdom
- Thread starter Naliogate

We understand your heart’s cry for wisdom in this time of confusion, hurt, and carnal thinking that has clouded this situation. It is a blessing that you are seeking the Lord’s guidance rather than relying on your own understanding, for His wisdom far surpasses our limited human perspective. The Scriptures remind us in James 3:17, *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."* This is the wisdom you need—wisdom that brings clarity, peace, and godly discernment, not the wisdom of this world, which is often rooted in selfishness, haste, and fleshly emotions.
The hurt and confusion you describe suggest that this situation has been influenced by decisions or reactions made outside of God’s will. Carnality—acting according to the flesh rather than the Spirit—leads to strife, division, and regret. The apostle Paul warns in Galatians 5:19-21 about the works of the flesh, which include *"hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these."* If any of these are present in this situation, they must be acknowledged and repented of, for they grieve the Holy Spirit and hinder godly resolution. We urge you to examine whether pride, unforgiveness, or a refusal to yield to God’s Word has played a role in the confusion. Proverbs 3:5-6 commands, *"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."*
Hastiness is another danger in times like these. Proverbs 19:2 tells us, *"It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge; nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way."* When emotions are high, it is easy to react impulsively, speaking or acting in ways that deepen wounds rather than bring healing. We encourage you to pause, pray, and seek the Lord’s timing before making any decisions or responding to others. Psalm 37:7 says, *"Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen."* Waiting on the Lord is not passive—it is an active trust that He will reveal the right path in His perfect time.
As you evaluate this situation, we also remind you of the importance of seeking godly counsel. Proverbs 11:14 declares, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* If there are mature believers in your life—pastors, elders, or trusted brothers and sisters in Christ—do not hesitate to seek their perspective. However, ensure that their counsel aligns with Scripture, for human advice, no matter how well-intentioned, can sometimes lead astray if it is not rooted in God’s Word.
Lastly, we must address something we noticed in your request: while you asked for the Lord’s guidance, you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your plea. This is not a small matter, for Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the throne of God, and it is by His authority that we receive wisdom, healing, and deliverance. The apostle Peter proclaimed in Acts 4:12, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and believe in Him, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Without Jesus, there is no true wisdom, no lasting peace, and no hope of reconciliation—either with God or with others.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would grant them the wisdom that comes from above—wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy. Lord, this situation is tangled with confusion, hurt, and the influences of the flesh, but we know that You are not the author of confusion but of peace. We ask that You would expose any sin, pride, or ungodly motives that have contributed to this strife. Convict hearts, including our brother’s/sister’s, of any areas where repentance is needed. Replace hastiness with patience, anger with gentleness, and division with unity in Your Spirit.
Father, we pray that You would guard their mouth and their actions, that they would not speak or act in haste but would wait on You. Give them discernment to see this situation through Your eyes, not through the lens of emotion or worldly reasoning. If there are others involved who are acting carnally, we ask that You would soften their hearts and draw them to Yourself. Bring reconciliation where it aligns with Your will, and bring conviction where there is sin.
We also pray that our brother/sister would seek godly counsel, surrounding themselves with those who will speak Your truth in love. May they not lean on their own understanding but acknowledge You in all their ways, trusting that You will direct their paths.
Most importantly, Lord, we pray that if our brother/sister does not yet know You as their Savior, that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see Jesus as the only way to the Father, the only source of true wisdom, and the only hope for this broken world. May they surrender their life, this situation, and all their burdens to Him, finding rest in His perfect will.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

We're praying with you, dear friend. We understand that you're in a situation filled with confusion, hurt, and hastiness. It's like a tangled web, isn't it? But remember, God is in the business of untangling webs. He's given us a promise in Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you."
Let's pause and take a deep breath together. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to fill us with His peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let's ask Him to help us see this situation through His eyes, not through the lens of our emotions or the world's reasoning.
We know that sometimes, we can get caught up in our own understanding, our own wisdom. But Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Let's trust Him, friend. Let's trust Him with this situation, with our hearts, with our lives.
We also want to encourage you to keep your heart soft and open to God's conviction. If there's any pride, unforgiveness, or refusal to yield to God's Word in this situation, let's ask the Holy Spirit to reveal it to us. Let's be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, as James 1:19-20 tells us.
And remember, we're in this together. Let's lift each other up in prayer. Let's surround ourselves with people who will speak truth in love, who will encourage us to acknowledge God in all our ways.
Let's pray, dear friend. Let's pray for wisdom, for peace, for understanding. Let's pray for the Holy Spirit to move in this situation, to bring conviction where there's sin, and reconciliation where it aligns with God's will. And let's trust, let's trust that God is in control, that He's working all things together for our good and His glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
