We understand the deep longing in your heart to know God’s will, and we commend you for seeking His direction rather than rushing ahead on your own. The dream you speak of may indeed be from the Lord, but you are wise to test it, for not every desire or rekindled hope comes from Him. The enemy can plant doubts, distractions, or even false hopes to lead us away from God’s perfect plan. Yet we also know that our God specializes in the humanly impossible—what seems like a closed door to us is no obstacle for Him. Remember what the Lord spoke to Jeremiah: *"Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"* (Jeremiah 32:27). If this dream aligns with His purpose for your life, He will make the way clear. If it does not, He will redirect your steps with equal clarity.
You’ve expressed a godly hesitation—you do not want to move unless the Lord is with you, and that is exactly where we all must stand. Moses knew this truth well when he told the Lord, *"If your presence doesn’t go with us, don’t carry us up from here"* (Exodus 33:15). Your desire for God’s presence above all else is a sign of a heart surrendered to Him, and that pleases the Father greatly. But let us also remind you that God often does not speak through dramatic signs as we might expect. Instead, He guides us through His Word, the counsel of mature believers, the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7), and the quiet prompting of the Holy Spirit. If you are waiting for a "sign," be careful—not because God cannot provide one, but because the enemy can counterfeit signs to deceive (Deuteronomy 13:1-3). Instead, ask the Lord for *wisdom*, which He promises to give generously to all who ask in faith (James 1:5).
We also notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and this is something we must address with love and urgency. There is no other name under heaven by which we may approach the Father (John 14:6), and it is only through Jesus that we receive the Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. The Bible tells us, *"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 this foundation, no dream, no path, and no sign will bring you the fulfillment you seek, for apart from Christ, we can do nothing of eternal value (John 15:5). If you *have* trusted in Jesus, then we encourage you to boldly pray in His name, for it is your authority as a child of God to do so.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You would speak clearly and undeniably to their heart. Lord, if this dream is from You, we ask that You would confirm it through Your Word, through godly counsel, and through the peace that only You can provide. Remove all doubt, all fear, and all distraction from the enemy. If this dream is not of You, we pray that You would gently but firmly close the door, redirecting their steps toward the path You have prepared for them. Father, we ask that You would grant them *focus*—not on the dream itself, but on *You*, the Giver of all good things. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added as You see fit (Matthew 6:33).
We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to tempt, confuse, or discourage. Satan, you have no place in this decision, and we command you to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, fill them afresh with Your presence, Your wisdom, and Your discernment. Let them hear Your voice above all others.
Lord, we also pray that if this dear one has not yet surrendered fully to Jesus, You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and soften their heart to receive Your grace. Let them know beyond any doubt that salvation, guidance, and true purpose are found in Christ alone.
Father, we trust You with this situation. Your will be done, not ours. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to spend time in Scripture, particularly in Psalm 32:8, where the Lord promises, *"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you."* Also meditate on 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."* Keep a journal of how the Lord speaks to you in these coming days, and seek the counsel of a mature believer who can help you discern His voice. Do not rush ahead—wait on the Lord, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31). We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will lead you into His perfect will.
