Father God,

Today, I pray that You would give insight and understand to Your children. Our humanly limitations leave us short so often in earthly and heavenly understanding. We see from an earthly perspective both partially and through cloudy lens. We then try to put those partial and clouded insights together in order to walk in this world through various decisions and trials. Our humanly abilities and best efforts often fall short. We either face forks in the road which are unclear and even when we see clearly from a standpoint of right versus wrong, our courage struggles to press forward against the weight of the world.

Today, I pray that You would pull back the veil of our limitations, and reveal truth to us that guides all of our steps as You call us to pray for all things. We therefore pray first that we would see all decisions in our life from the spiritual standpoint of right versus wrong. I pray that we would see all things through the light of Scripture and have the courage to turn from the wrong and follow the right.

I also pray that as we look upon the decisions before us and see that some choices are not cast in right or wrong, but could be just as Godly in different directions, that You would show us which of these choices are best for us. There are many things we face where no sin can be seen in either direction, but choose a direction we must. After you reveal to us the morality of a decision, unveil to us the choices which lead to the more blessed outcomes for us and our families or others under our care.

Then, as You uncover for us the steps which we should take, give us the strength to move forward, step by step, looking to You all along the way for both the light and the strength to press forward towards walking with You day by day.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.

PS: Some days, I find it challenging to put things exactly into words that weigh upon my spirit at the time. In this prayer, in simplest terms, I ask that God guide us in all our steps through all our days leading us to the green pastures of the Good Shepherd.
