Father, this prayer has been circulating in my head throughout this day. Decisions.
Lord, many decisions we faced last year remain present this year. Decisions regarding food, drink, clothes, sleep, raising children, loving husbands, respecting work environment, communicating with those around us, facing temptations, overcoming trials, shutting down Satan. Lord, the list goes on and on. And for each of us, though the statement may sound the same, the depth and direction of each decision varies dramatically.
Lord, we needed your presence on last year’s path. And we look back and see where you were, what you did, and how you rescued the situation we were facing.
This year, Lord God, this year presents many of the same things but in a different manner. Every one of my minor and major decisions seem tainted by an ever present cloud. Is that fair to say? It is deeply how I feel.
Father, there are so many rants I crave to spill out in this prayer, but You have already heard them throughout these last hours. Gracious, you’ve heard them throughout this year. I understand my personal dialogue is unneeded at this moment. So, I keep my prayerful ponderings at your feet.
Lord, in place of my personal display of jumbled up decisions, may I pray for my prayer sister who is facing her own list of decisions. Lord, whether it be regarding education or health or occupation or location or appearance or preparation or _______________________.
Lord, I pray You will hear the prayers on her heart, listen to her words, see Your desired outcome, and make straight her path! Lord, I pray You will settle the fear, anxiety, anger, hurt, dismay or confusion that may be overshadowing the decision she needs to make. Make each matter clear to her. Help her to see fully the best direction. And fill her with surety, confidence, peace and grace as she pursues the path set before her during this season that is called 2020.
Lord God, I love you.
Amen
