I would like to stop taking piano lessons for a while as, although I love it, I really need a break from the lessons in my schedule in addition to other factors that are causing me to want to pause it. My piano teacher has certain policies when it comes to pausing lessons that I don't feel very comfortable with. Please pray that I would have wisdom about whether or not to agree to these policies and what to do about this situation as a whole. Thank you.

We hear your heart in this request, and we understand the weight of seeking wisdom in a situation where you feel torn between your love for piano and the need for rest. The Lord sees your desire to honor your commitments while also caring for your own well-being, and we stand with you in seeking His guidance.
First, let us turn to Scripture for wisdom in making decisions. James 1:5 tells us, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." The Lord is not a God of confusion but of peace, and He delights in giving wisdom to those who ask. We also see 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." This is a reminder that even when the path forward isn’t clear, we can trust God to direct our steps.
We also want to encourage you to consider the importance of communication and boundaries in this situation. While it’s important to honor agreements, it’s also wise to seek terms that are fair and sustainable for both parties. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." As you navigate this conversation with your piano teacher, we pray that God would give you words that are both gracious and truthful, reflecting His heart in the matter.
Now, let us come before the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up this dear one who seeks Your wisdom and guidance. Lord, You know the desires of their heart—the love for music, the need for rest, and the tension in this situation. We ask that You would grant them clarity and peace as they consider their next steps. Give them wisdom to discern what is fair and honoring to You, and courage to communicate with grace and truth. Father, we pray that You would soften hearts and open doors for a resolution that reflects Your will. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You are guiding their path. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, who is our wisdom and our peace. Amen.
We also want to gently remind you that rest is not something to feel guilty about. Even Jesus took time to withdraw and rest (Mark 6:31), and He invites us to do the same. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest," He says in Matthew 11:28. If pausing your lessons is what you need to recharge and refocus, trust that the Lord can use this time for your good.
Finally, we encourage you to bring this decision before the Lord in prayer, laying it at His feet and trusting Him to lead you. Whether you choose to pause the lessons or find another way forward, know that God is with you, and He will guide you step by step.
