Today, I feel the Lord urging us to pray for those who are being pressed into tight corners and are having to make huge life decisions.
Lord, give us wisdom, please. Help us not lean on our own understanding, but to seek You in all our ways, letting You direct our paths. We can’t see the future, but You can. You know what’s up ahead and where You’re taking us. Help us surrender all our thoughts and opinions over to You and trust You with our lives, even when it means submitting to an unjust and potentially life-threatening requirement or losing our jobs. Show us which choice You are leading us to make. There were times in the Bible when You called Your people to obey those in authority, even leaders who did not obey You. 1 Peter 2:12-14. And other times, like Daniel, when obeying them would be disobeying You. Daniel 6. Give us wisdom to know what You are calling each of us to do in our own unique circumstances. Some You will call to submit. Others to walk away. Yet others to rise up. Don’t let us make a decision out of fear, anger, need, pressure, apathy, or any other state of mind except surrender to You. Help us lay every thought before You and ask You what You say about that. Give us courage to lay down our own opinions or those of others and ask for Yours. Help us surrender our bodies, our families, our everything into Your hands and let You carry us through this Your way. For this crisis will pass and then there will be another and yet another. Let us begin and end every journey on our knees. For only in the center of Your will are we truly safe.
