Prayer for when you don’t know what to do

When facing a tough decision, it might feel like your mind goes around in circles. You try to understand and figure it all out yourself, but it’s impossible. This is very common — you are not alone in feeling this way.

It may seem like you don’t have the time to pray about your situation. But if you pray, it will save you time later. There’s nothing that wastes time and energy more than confusion. Prayer helps put your thoughts in order.

Prayer for when you don't know what to do

When you don’t know what to do, go to God in prayer.

It may take time to get an answer, but God always delivers. You might even want to set up a prayer campaign during the process. You can also use a notebook and dedicate time to writing about your uncertainty. Write about what you are praying about and what answers you are seeking. Also, write about what you are feeling. Express your feelings in the most genuine way possible.

After each prayer session, jot down what you think God might be trying to tell you. Repeat this process each day until you begin to have more clarity about your situation.

God’s presence gives you peace. Take the time. Pray. Read from the Bible. You’ll notice the confusion begins to disappear. Try not to have a preference about outcomes, and let the Spirit guide you.

Even Jesus took the time to consult with his Father about tough decisions. Imitate our Lord and the results will be glorious.

In these days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God.

Luke 6:12

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

Proverbs 3:5

Pray anywhere, anytime

PRAYER FOR WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Dear heavenly Lord,

I face situations and decisions. It’s complicated and dense. I feel confused and lost. Can you help me? Can you show me the light?

First of all, oh Lord, calm my heart. Let me know that my peace depends upon you alone. No matter how things turn out, with you at the center of my life, I will stand. I will survive.

May your Spirit keep me balanced. Lord, show me your will. Let my mind and heart be open to what best serves truth and life. Give me courage to do what is right. Show me your word. Reveal it to my heart, oh Lord, and make my conviction strong. For when I go to you, and you show me your will, the blessing is guaranteed.

It may not be easy, it may take time, but upon Christ I stand firm.

In Jesus name, Amen.

  2. I am in a very dark hole, ive lost everything, House car even my children because of a bad decision i made. I’ve prayed, asking God for forgiveness, and it serms like things are going from bad to worse. Please pray for me, i have been applying for jobs, I’ve tried to start a business, nothing is happening.

    • I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles Pearlie. It must be so hard for you. Remember, things take time to restore and rebuild. Try to be patient, even though it’s hard. Restore your relationship with God and with yourself. Seek him and trust him to guide you.

      When we make bad decisions, we must face the consequences. It doesn’t mean all is lost, but it will take time. During this time God will show you how to heal and get free of things that aren’t good for you. He will purify you if you let him. So let him. Even though it is not easy, take advantage of this process. Remember, today is not the last chapter in your life.

      I will be praying for you! Don’t give up hope!

  3. O’ Lord! I’m been trying to get my boyfriend to marry me and I want to know what is the reason he’s not answering my question “Let’s Get Married”? We’ve been together since the last of summer and the beginning of fall in 1998/99 (August/September). I have been there for him and his 4 sons since the beginning of this relationship,we were friends first and he was my night and shining armor,who came and rescued me and I been with him every since.My daughter and grandkids loves him too. “Mr.John” (Grandpa) is what he is known from them by. Times change and years has gone by, he’s now retired and(his)the children have families and the (my)Grandkids are having children, so we now have a “Village”. Although we are considered to be common law marriage,we are still not married legally. I’ve never heard nor have I ever been asked, “Will You Marry Me”🤔🤨. Another year is coming to an end, and we’re going to embrace the New Year coming up next. “God will this (2024) year be the year I become his “WIFE”?. I’m praying for this.🙏😃☺️🥰😂😇💓🫂🤞👰💐🍾⛪💍🔔✝️🇺🇸
