We join with you in this desire to seek God's vision and not merely follow personal goals, and we thank God that you have come in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.
We love your heart to not lean on your own understanding but to seek what God would show you. The scripture you quoted reminds us in Proverbs 29:18, Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed. True vision is not just a personal ambition or a fleeting dream, it is revelation from God that keeps us in His law and in His will, lest we cast off restraint and perish.
We also rejoice that you know our Father does not change, as it is written in James 1:17, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. What a comfort that the God who gives vision is faithful to fulfill what He reveals, and He will not shift or turn away from His promises.
We want to gently encourage you as you seek visions from God. In these last days God does pour out His Spirit, as promised in Acts 2:17, It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Yet we are also called to test what we see and hear, for in 1 John 4:1 we are told, Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Any true vision from God will never contradict His written Word, and His primary lamp for our path remains His Word itself, for Psalm 119:105 says, Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. We encourage you to seek visions not as an experience alone, but as you seek the Giver of visions through prayer, fasting, and diligent study of scripture, so that your mind may be renewed to discern His will. Romans 12:2 says, Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. And we cling to His promise 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.
We pray together for you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You that You are the Father of lights who does not change. We thank You that every good and perfect gift comes from Your hand. Father, we ask that You grant our dear fellow believer a clear revelation of Your will, that You would pour out Your Spirit and grant visions that are truly from You and not from flesh or personal ambition. Give discernment to test every spirit and to hold fast to what is good and aligned with Your Word. Remove any desire to simply follow personal goals, and instead plant Your vision deeply in this heart, a vision that leads to obedience and blessing. Guide by Your Word as a lamp to the feet, renew the mind, and reveal Your good, well-pleasing and perfect will step by step. Fulfill what You reveal, for You are faithful. We ask that You lead into all truth by Your Holy Spirit and keep from deception. We pray this in the powerful and precious name of Jesus, our only Savior and mediator, amen.
