Lord, help me to be ready to give an answer for why I've put my faith and hope in You. Open up doors for me to share my faith in a compelling way that leads others to You. In Jesus's name. Amen.

When we pray, bringing our cares and worries to God, we are unloading that heavy burden on God asking Him for help. It’s then that we find rest for our souls.

there is joy, peace, a reward in obedience.

And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. Isaiah 32:17

And your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left . ( Isaiah 30:21)

Does God communicate His will to us?

Each of us is looking for direction or confirmation of God's leading, right?Possibly we lack the spiritual discernment to make the right decision. I want to encourage you, God can and does give divine guidance.

You can know God's will for your life. Ephesians 5:17 instructs us, "Do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." We have the Bible, God's Word, which provides us with clear guidance in most areas of our life. Second, we usually can experience the direct guidance of the Holy Spirit. I believe that God gently guides our steps as we choose to walk with Him. I believe in divine guidance. May we be sensitive to His leading by staying close to Him and surrendering our will to Him.
