A Prayer for When You Feel Uncertain of God’s Leading By Christine Perry “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” – Isaiah 42:16 NKJV As I write this, I am preaching this truth to myself. Just this week, I said to a family member, “I don’t know what the Lord is doing. I genuinely believe I’ve done my best to follow His leading, but I don't know what He wants, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.”  Have you ever felt this way? You’re following the Lord, and He will lead you straight into the wilderness. As time passes, you begin to feel stripped, barren, and forgotten. The business is failing, your children are struggling, you can’t have children, you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you just lost your spouse, you have an ongoing illness with no answers, or you’re single and waiting for a spouse. It’s hard. Tears threaten to pour out. Bitterness is biting at your heels. Despair is crouching at your door, and discouragement is knocking on the window of your heart. Isaiah says that God will lead the blind (Israelites) in ways they don't know. It is God who is guiding them. Yet, He promised to turn the darkness into light and to make the rough places smooth.  God’s ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9); we are rarely, if ever, privy to His plans. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” When we are following the Lord, we follow by faith. And just like in this verse, God often leads us in ways we don’t know. Why? Because He wants us to trust His character and in His Word. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."  God never forsakes us. It may “feel” like He has, but we are never to let our emotions dictate the truth of God’s Word. He is leading, and He is guiding; even if it seems like nothing is happening in this season. The Lord knows the perfect environment for us to be in in order to grow.  He is worthy of our trust, even when we are in uncharted territory.  Let’s pray: Dear Heavenly Father,In Psalm 115:3, the Psalmist writes, "But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases." We know that You are in charge of our lives and the direction it is heading. We are asking that You would help us to trust You when the storm rages and the circumstances are grim. We ask that You be our anchor. We need You. Help us to be still and know You are God. You're the same God who led the Israelites with a fire by night and a cloud by day and fed them for forty years. So today, we ask that You would help us to look to You for all of our needs and for direction and wisdom with decisions that need to be made.  God, Your Word says that You are for us and not against us. You say that nothing can separate us from Your love. Your Word also says that You will lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake and that You will guide us with Your eye. Father, You say that your eyes range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to You. Please help us to be completely devoted to you. We are unworthy. We mess up constantly. We fight against You but I ask that You would soften our hearts and make us attentive to You and what You want to do in and through us. We are Yours. Help us to trust you when we are uncertain where You're leading us. Amen!

How to be content without becoming complacent Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14 The great pianist Ignacy Jan Padrewski achieved tremendous popularity all over the world around the turn of the 20th century. Yet, said Padrewski, "There have been few moments when I have known complete satisfaction, but only a few. I have rarely been free from the disturbing realization that my playing might have been better." Padrewski was renowned as a near-perfect piano player. Yet he remained largely unsatisfied in his abilities and always continued working at improving his talent. There's a difference between contentment and complacency. Contentment is found in the biblical promise, "I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1), meaning God fulfills us with everything we need. Complacency, however, is the notion that we've reached and achieved everything, and there are no more areas in which we can grow and learn. Contentment is good. Complacency is not. In fact, when we read Scripture, we see our heroes of the faith are always growing, always learning, and always pushing themselves forward. Be content, but not complacent. Realize that God has given you everything you need. But use what God has given you to continue growing and learning all the days of your life! Prayer Challenge Pray that God would bring about contentment and remove complacency in your walk of faith. Questions for Thought What attitude is really at the heart of the idea that we don't have any growing or learning left to do? Think of one area where you could take steps to grow and learn. How can you make progress in this area over the next few weeks and months?
