Just this week, I truly needed to discern God’s voice, but more importantly, His direction. I try to make sure I do what it is right for God, but even in my best effort to get it right, there are many moments that I get it completely wrong!
- Psalm 37:23-24 The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
But even in these moments, I can still turn to my Heavenly Father and request for his forgiveness. And more importantly, for his direction and clarity. If you find yourself in a place where you simply need guidance from God, here are ten scriptures that can help you do just that:
2. Psalm 23:1-3 – The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
3. Jeremiah 33: 3 – Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4. Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
5. 1 John 2:27 2 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
6. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. **
7. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
8. Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
9. John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
10. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, understand there is power in giving God back His Word! Pray this prayer to help you along the way!
Praying the Word: Father God, I come humbly to Your Throne. I praise you that You are my Shepherd and for this reason, I shall not want (Psalm 23:!). I thank You that I can call out to You and You will show me great and mighty things I do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). For this reason, Father God, I come to You. I ask that You lead and guide me like only You know how. Your Word tells me that I shall hear the way to go – whether right or left (Isaiah 30:21). I ask that You make it clear so that I can ascertain the direction You desire of me. God, while I can seek the help of family and loved ones, I come directly to You. Your Word tells me that no man shall teach me, but the anointing shall teach me all things and lead me to the truth (1 John 2:27). I pray through the power of the Holy Spirit that I am driven and guided in the right direction that I should go (John 16:13). I pray that I have the grace to move where it is You desire of me. I pray now that You order and guide my footsteps (Psalm 119:133). Because Father God, I want to get this right. I want to move where You want me to be. Your word says there is a way that seems right but in the end only leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). Help me not to be deceived, but move where You want me to be. For this reason, I present this issue _ and pray in your great Son Jesus Christ name (John 14:14). I pray I am peacefully directed to where You would have me to go and have a significant victory in Jesus Christ Name of Nazareth (1 Cor 15:57). Amen.
