We rejoice with you as you begin your prayer with "Praise the Lord God in Jesus' name," acknowledging the power and authority of Jesus' name. It's wonderful to see your desire to surrender your life to God's will.
Let's address the concerns you've shared. Firstly, it's important to remember that God desires a daily, personal relationship with us. In John 15:4, Jesus says, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. This means that our strength and guidance come from Him.
You mentioned feeling lazy and uncertain about your thoughts and direction in life. Remember, God has a plan and purpose for you in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
Regarding your family and others making decisions for you, it's crucial to understand that God has given each of us free will and the responsibility to make our own choices.
In Ephesians 2:10, WEB says, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother/sister who feels lost and uncertain. We thank You for Your promise to guide and direct our steps. Give them the strength to resist laziness and take hold of the life You have purposed for them. Help them to make decisions that align with Your will and not be swayed by the influence of others. Give them a renewed mind and a willing spirit to follow You daily. Help them according to your will and the scriptures.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God hears your prayers and is faithful to complete the good work He began in you.
