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.
