Prayer for guidance

Lord, I’m really glad I can talk to You, anytime, anywhere — although I don’t do it as often as I need to. No excuses. Still, I think about You all the time. “What should I do about this, Lord?” and “What about that problem?” and “What would You have me do now, Lord?” I crave to hear Your voice. Your advice is so precious.

But the noise around me is so loud. So much going on, so many opinions, so much to do. Which is funny, because that should only give me more reasons to go to You — to hear Your voice clearly in the middle of all the noisy distractions. I need to remember that, and never let the busyness of my days or the abundance of “advice” cause me to forget Your guidance.

I don’t want to go off on my own wisdom, Lord. That’d be dangerous. My wisdom is foolishness. I need Your perspective, to see things the way You see them; to be sure that I’m on the right path. Please help.

I need to know what to do. Please hurry. I don’t have much time.

Show me what to do, and give me the courage to do it.


In Jesus’ name. Thank You.
