Scripture References
Pray With Me
Father, I need Your wisdom.
I do not want to make this decision only from fear, pressure, impatience, or what seems easiest in the moment. Help me see the situation clearly.
Show me any motives in my heart that need to be corrected. Give me humility to receive wise counsel and patience to wait when the answer is not yet clear.
Open the right doors and give me courage to walk away from opportunities that are not good for me, even when they look attractive. Help me pay attention to truth rather than forcing circumstances to fit what I already want.
Guide my conversations, timing, and next steps. If I make a mistake, remind me that Your grace is greater than my ability to plan perfectly.
Most of all, shape my character through this decision. I want more than the right outcome; I want to become more faithful, wise, and obedient in the process.
I trust that You can lead me one step at a time.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
