A Prayer for When You Really feel Unsure of God’s Main
By Christine Perry
“I’ll lead the blind by methods they haven’t identified, alongside unfamiliar paths I’ll information them; I’ll flip the darkness into mild earlier than them and make the tough locations clean. These are the issues I’ll do; I cannot forsake them.” – Isaiah 42:16 NKJV
As I write this, I’m preaching this fact to myself. Simply this week, I mentioned to a member of the family, “I do not know what the Lord is doing. I genuinely imagine I’ve accomplished my greatest to comply with His main, however I don’t know what He desires, and I don’t know what I’m presupposed to do.”
Have you ever ever felt this manner? You are following the Lord, and He’ll lead you straight into the wilderness. As time passes, you start to really feel stripped, barren, and forgotten. The enterprise is failing, your youngsters are struggling, you possibly can’t have youngsters, you’ve got been recognized with most cancers, you simply misplaced your partner, you’ve gotten an ongoing sickness with no solutions, otherwise you’re single and ready for a partner. It is exhausting. Tears threaten to pour out. Bitterness is biting at your heels. Despair is crouching at your door, and discouragement is knocking on the window of your coronary heart.
Isaiah says that God will lead the blind (Israelites) in methods they don’t know. It’s God who’s guiding them. But, He promised to show the darkness into mild and to make the tough locations clean.
God’s methods aren’t our methods (Isaiah 55:8-9); we’re hardly ever, if ever, aware about His plans. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we stroll by religion, not by sight.” Once we are following the Lord, we comply with by religion. And identical to on this verse, God typically leads us in methods we do not know. Why? As a result of He desires us to belief His character and in His Phrase. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your phrase is a lamp for my toes, a lightweight on my path.” God by no means forsakes us. It could “really feel” like He has, however we’re by no means to let our feelings dictate the reality of God’s Phrase. He’s main, and He’s guiding; even when it looks as if nothing is going on on this season. The Lord is aware of the proper setting for us to be in with a view to develop.
He’s worthy of our belief, even after we are in uncharted territory.
Let’s pray:
Pricey Heavenly Father,
In Psalm 115:3, the Psalmist writes, “However our God is in heaven; He does no matter He pleases.” We all know that You’re answerable for our lives and the route it’s heading. We’re asking that You’ll assist us to belief You when the storm rages and the circumstances are grim. We ask that You be our anchor. We’d like You. Assist us to be nonetheless and know You’re God. You’re the identical God who led the Israelites with a fireplace by evening and a cloud by day and fed them for forty years. So at the moment, we ask that You’ll assist us to look to You for all of our wants and for route and knowledge with choices that should be made.
God, Your Phrase says that You’re for us and never towards us. You say that nothing can separate us from Your love. Your Phrase additionally says that You’ll lead us in paths of righteousness for Your title’s sake and that You’ll information us with Your eye. Father, You say that your eyes vary all through the earth to strengthen these whose hearts are totally dedicated to You. Please assist us to be fully dedicated to you. We’re unworthy. We mess up always. We battle towards You however I ask that You’ll soften our hearts and make us attentive to You and what You wish to do in and thru us. We’re Yours. Assist us to belief you after we are unsure the place You’re main us. Amen!
