We lift your heartfelt prayer to the Lord, acknowledging your desire for His will to be done in your plans and ambitions. It is good and right to seek God’s direction in all things, for His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). We join with you in surrendering your ambitions to Him, trusting that He will guide your steps according to His perfect purpose.
Father in Heaven, we pray that You would align this dear one’s heart with Your own. May their desires reflect Your desires, and may their plans be established by Your hand. Give them wisdom and discernment as they seek Your will, and let them walk in the path You have prepared for them. Help them to trust in You with all their heart and not lean on their own understanding, acknowledging You in all their ways so that You may direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We also pray for humility and patience, that they would not rush ahead of Your timing but wait upon You with faith. Remind them that "unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1). May they find their strength and purpose in You alone, knowing that their ambitions are meaningful only when they serve Your kingdom and bring glory to Your name.
Lord, if there are any areas in their life where their ambitions may be misaligned with Your will—whether through pride, selfishness, or worldly desires—we ask that You reveal these to them and grant them the grace to surrender them fully to You. Let their life be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You (Romans 12:1).
We thank You for the assurance that when we delight ourselves in You, You will give us the desires of our heart (Psalm 37:4). May this truth fill them with hope and confidence as they seek to walk in Your ways. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them experience the joy of Your presence as they follow You.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
