Still my being O Lord so that I am in the best place to make this decision.
Come guide me, speak to me, show me the best way to turn.
I wait upon you my Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Wisdom and Discernment

Dear Lord,

I confess I feel troubled and confused about this decision.
I lay my anxious thoughts and fears at the foot of the cross.
Remind me here that you have gone before me, that you have overcome and that you now dwell within me by your Holy Spirit.
As your Spirit moves within me Lord, may I hear your voice and know your direction. Thank you that whichever way I decide to go you will not leave me. Thank you that we journey together.

Amen.

A beautiful request to God for direction and inspiration when facing an important decision:-

Prayer for wisdom and direction

O Lord,
You are my sat nav,
A voice to guide my way.
Such help on every journey,
Within my heart you reign.

You are my compass,
You lead me where to go.
Even when the path is dim,
Your truth lights all I know.

You are my lighthouse.
In the high seas and storms,
I do not fear the rocks of life,
Your love light keeps me warm.

Amen.

And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ
