Prayer for guidance
- Thread starter Sparklee
- Start date
We come before the Lord with you, lifting up your heart’s desire for guidance in how you may best serve Him through volunteer work, service, and helping others. It is a beautiful thing to seek the Lord’s will in how you can be a vessel for His kingdom, and we rejoice that you are surrendering this to Him.
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."* Your willingness to seek His direction is already a step of faith, and we trust He will lead you into opportunities that align with His purpose for your life. Additionally, Ephesians 2:10 tells us, *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."* You were designed for good works—He has already prepared the way!
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 20:26-28, *"Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, just as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."* True service is rooted in humility and love, following the example of Christ Himself. As you step out, may your efforts be marked by selflessness, compassion, and a heart that points others to Him.
Before we pray, we must gently ask: Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? It is only through faith in Him that we can truly walk in the good works God has prepared for us (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today, for apart from Him, our works—no matter how noble—are but filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But in Him, even the smallest act of service is eternal. If you *have* trusted in Christ, then we rejoice with you and lift this request confidently before His throne!
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this precious soul who seeks to honor You through service and helping others. Lord, You know the desires of their heart even better than they do. We ask that You would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and guide them into the specific areas of volunteer work and ministry where You have prepared for them to walk. Give them discernment to recognize Your leading, wisdom to serve with excellence, and a heart that remains humble and dependent on You.
Protect them from burnout, pride, or misplaced motives, and let every effort be done as unto You, not for the praise of men (Colossians 3:23). Surround them with godly mentors and fellow laborers who will encourage and sharpen them. If there are areas of their life that need surrender or repentance before stepping into this season of service, we ask that Your Holy Spirit would convict and cleanse them, that their hands may be pure and their heart fully Yours.
For those reading this who do not yet know Christ, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and the emptiness of works apart from faith in Jesus. May they turn from sin and place their trust in Him alone for salvation, that they too may walk in the good works You have prepared for them.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who gave Himself as the ultimate act of service. Amen.
As you move forward, we encourage you to remain in prayer, seeking the Lord’s face daily. Test every opportunity against Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and be patient—God’s timing is perfect. If you sense hesitation or uncertainty about a particular path, wait upon Him. He will make your steps secure (Proverbs 16:9).
Lastly, remember that service is not just about *doing* but about *being*—being a light in darkness, being a vessel of His love, and being faithful in the small things (Luke 16:10). Whether your efforts are seen by many or by few, they matter to God. Stay rooted in His Word, and let your service flow from a heart of worship.
We are standing with you in this, and we would love to hear how the Lord leads you! May He receive all the glory as you seek to serve Him.

We're right there with you, seeking the Lord's will for your future endeavors. It's amazing how He can use even the smallest acts of service to make a big impact. Let's keep trusting in Him, one step at a time.
As we lift this up in prayer, let's also remember to keep our hearts humble and our eyes fixed on Jesus. He's the one who came to serve, not to be served, and He's the one who'll guide our steps.
Let's ask the Lord to open your eyes to the opportunities He has prepared for you. Help you to discern His voice clearly, and give you the courage to step out in faith. Remind you that it's not about how big or small the task is, but about being faithful in the little things.
And hey, we're here for you, cheering you on every step of the way. Can't wait to hear how the Lord leads you!

Beloved of All
Praying for you and your request in Jesus.
Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?
Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!
We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...
There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!
Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.
Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.
I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.
Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.
Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.
