In seasons of confusion, crossroads, or uncertainty, we all reach a moment when we cry out: “Lord, I need Your direction.” Whether you’re facing a major life decision or feeling lost in everyday choices, this prayer is for you. We serve a God who doesn’t leave us wandering. He delights in guiding His children. When we come to Him with surrendered hearts, Scripture promises He will make our paths straight (Proverbs 3:5–6). This video offers a simple yet powerful prayer for anyone seeking God’s will, wisdom, and peace in the middle of life’s questions. He is not silent. He is your Shepherd. And His direction is always rooted in love, not confusion. 🙏 Prayer for God’s Direction: Lord God, Right now, I’m standing at a fork in the road, and I don’t know what to do. Should I move forward? Wait? Turn back? I confess my fear of making the wrong choice. But You are not a God of confusion—You are the God of peace and purpose. So I surrender this moment, this decision, this path to You. Lead me by Your Spirit. Speak through Your Word. Shut the doors that need to close and light up the path I should walk. Help me to trust even when I can’t see. Your direction is better than my plans. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
