A prayer for when you don't know what to do by Christina Fox, your word is a lamp for

my feet, a light on my past, Psalm 119, 105.

One of the first steps toward making a tough decision is to seek God in prayer.

Perhaps you're in the midst of a difficult decision right now.

Also, this prayer is for you.

Let's pray.

Father in heaven, I come before you today with my mind swirling with different thoughts

and feelings.

I have a hard decision to make and I just don't know what to do.

I feel helpless and confused.

I'm worried about the consequences to my decision.

I worry about the impact my decision will have not only on myself but on others as well.

And to be honest, I fear making the wrong decision.

Your word tells me that if I seek after wisdom you will provide it.

So I'm seeking you, the source and fountain of wisdom.

You've written everything you want me to know in the pages of your book, the Bible.

I pray that as I read your word, it would shape my wants and desires and longings.

I pray that it would impress on me what matters most to you.

I pray that as I consider the decision before me, that I would remember what your word

teaches about your sovereignty and your control over all things.

You know this problem before me.

You know how it turns out.
