Prayers for guidance

 

Remember the Lord will always guide the one that has acknowledged Him and invited Him into their lives. We acknowledge Him through prayer when we pray that He may guide us in every aspect of our lives. Prayers for guidance are a way to show that we surrender to His guidance because we have realized that we cannot make it on our own.

The Lord will never force Himself on someone’s life and control him like a robot. Prayers for guidance should be said from the energy of obedience and not compulsion. This is what the scripture says; I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you. (Psalms 32:8-9

Although man is created differently from animals with a brain and the ability to think, he is not all-knowing. He is bound to make mistakes in life.  Mans’s wisdom and experience are limited in helping walk right in this journey in life. The scripture says that “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts. (Proverbs 21:2) And also “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death”. (Proverbs 14:12).

This now brings us to the question, should one pray and ask for guidance? Is God willing to guide us in life? Have a look at the following scripture, this is the Lord, God speaking to us “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye”. (Psalms 32:8). Wow that is amazing! The Lord God has promised in His word that He is ready to instruct us and teach us the way to Go and with His eyes, He is ready to guide us.

How will one feel when they are guided by the eye of God? This is a place where one will make no silly mistakes in life. The eyes of the Lord as the scripture says that they are able to observe even the inside of one’s heart. God is able to show you the evil that is in the enemy’s heart and make you not fall into the trap of the enemy. David writes this in the book of psalms 32; For this cause, everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters. They shall not come near him. (Psalms 32:6).

In which area in life do you need the Lord to guide you? First of all, do you trust Him with all of your heart that He is able to guide you or you are still leaning on your own understanding? Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

God is waiting for us to ask for His guidance through prayer. He has good plans for us and He will definitely guide us to the good plans that He has in store for us. When you pray, the Holy Spirit of God is able to reveal to you the things that God has prepared for you.

But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. ( 1 Corinthians 2:9-12)
