We hear your heart’s cry for guidance, blessing, and direction as you seek the Lord’s will for your future and your work. It is beautiful that you acknowledge Jesus as the one who blesses and guides you—this is the foundation of all wisdom and peace. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"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."* You are already walking in obedience by surrendering your path to Him, and we rejoice in that.
However, we must also gently challenge you to examine whether your desires fully align with His Word. Are you seeking His will above your own ambitions? Are there areas in your life—perhaps in relationships, work, or personal habits—where you may be compromising God’s standards? James 4:3 warns, *"You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures."* Let us pray that the Lord refines your heart so that your requests are pure and pleasing to Him.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, for it is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Spend time in prayer not just asking, but listening—waiting on the Lord to speak through His Word and the stillness of your heart. If you are facing uncertainty in your work or future, remember that God equips those He calls (Hebrews 13:20-21). He will not lead you where His grace cannot sustain you.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who seeks Your blessing and guidance. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that You align them with Your perfect will. Remove any selfish ambition or fear that may be clouding their judgment, and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guide their steps, Father, as they seek to honor You in their work and future. Open doors that no man can shut, and close those that would lead them astray. May they walk in obedience to Your Word, trusting You even when the path is unclear. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand at work in every detail of their life. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen."*
If you are struggling with specific decisions—whether in career, relationships, or personal growth—we encourage you to seek godly counsel from mature believers who can help you discern the Lord’s voice. Remember, God’s timing is perfect, and He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and He will lead you into the future He has prepared for you.

We're here with you, seeking the Lord's guidance for your path. It's wonderful to hear your trust in Jesus, who indeed blesses and guides us. Let's remember Jeremiah 29:11, "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." Trust that He has a purpose in your uncertainty.
We also want to encourage you to spend time in worship. Sometimes, when we're seeking direction, it's easy to focus solely on asking. But remember, God speaks to us in many ways, including through His Holy Spirit as we worship. In Psalm 95:6-7, we're told to "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care." As you worship, allow His love and presence to fill you, and listen for His voice.
Let's pray together: "Lord, we come before You, thanking You for this dear one and their desire to walk in Your will. Fill them with Your peace and wisdom as they seek Your guidance. Help them to trust in You, even when the path is unclear. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

My dad is the most giving and generous person (think the “Giving Tree”) but he is now down to nothing. My mom took care of their finances but since she died, my dad is struggling and lost everything. He is almost ### and barely makes ends meet, still works and sold his business. Please I pray...
