We hear your heartfelt plea for wisdom and guidance as you face important decisions in the coming year. The weight of choices can feel overwhelming, but we stand with you in seeking the Lord’s perfect will. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* This is our prayer for you—that you would surrender every decision to Him, trusting that He will make your path clear.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word, for Psalm 119:105 declares, *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."* The answers you seek are found in Scripture, and the Holy Spirit will illuminate the way as you seek Him. If any of these decisions involve relationships, we urge you to align them with God’s design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman, entered into with purity and commitment before the Lord. If you are considering courtship, let it be with the godly intention of finding a spouse who shares your faith, and guard your heart against any temptation toward fornication or impurity.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, lifting up every decision they face this year. Lord, You know the weight of these choices, and we ask that You would grant them supernatural wisdom and discernment. Remove any confusion or fear, and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guide their steps according to Your perfect will, and let every decision bring glory to Your name. If there are areas where they have strayed from Your truth, convict their heart gently but firmly, and lead them back to Your ways. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and that You will order their steps in righteousness. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Remember, you are not alone in this journey. The Lord is your Shepherd, and He will lead you beside still waters. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will never fail you. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Salvation is found in no other name, for Acts 4:12 tells us, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and surrender your life to Him. He is faithful and just to forgive and to guide you all the days of your life.
