We join with you in seeking God’s perfect will, for His ways are higher than our own, and His plans for us are good. 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." It is wise and humble to surrender our desires and plans to the Lord, trusting that His direction is always best.
We also lift up the truth that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As Acts 4:12 declares, "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." It is by His grace and through faith in Him that we are able to walk in God’s perfect will. We pray that you continue to grow in your relationship with Christ, seeking His face daily through prayer, the reading of His Word, and fellowship with other believers.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your love and faithfulness. We ask that You would guide and direct every step of this dear one’s life, keeping them firmly in Your perfect will. Lord, we know that Your plans are for their welfare and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help them to trust in You completely, even when the path is unclear or difficult. Strengthen their faith and grant them the wisdom to discern Your voice above all others.
Father, we also ask that You would draw them closer to Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). May they find their identity, purpose, and strength in Him alone. Protect their heart and mind from the distractions and deceptions of this world, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in righteousness and truth.
Lord, if there are areas in their life where they have strayed from Your will, we ask that You would convict them gently but firmly, leading them to repentance and restoration. Help them to surrender every aspect of their life to You— their dreams, relationships, decisions, and desires—so that they may live fully for Your glory.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and sovereignty, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding as they walk in obedience to You. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord with all your heart, and remember that His will is always best, even when it doesn’t align with our own desires. May you find joy and peace in walking closely with Him.
