Prayers for guidance and decisions
Choosing between two good options
For clarity when the path ahead is unclear.
Also for choosing between options · two good choices · hard to decide · which path to choose · decision between good options · hard choice between good things · decision fatigue · which option is right · torn between two paths
Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, both paths in front of me look good, and I am struggling to know which one is actually yours for me. Thank you that you are not hiding, waiting for me to guess wrong. Give me discernment beyond just weighing pros and cons, and let your peace settle over the choice that is right, even if it isn’t the one that seems easiest.
I want to hear your voice clearly enough to follow it with confidence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
