Upon Beginning to Seek God’s Purpose In Our Lives

So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:9

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:3

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

 

Lord, we humble ourselves before you tonight because we know we are nothing without your presence. We know all we can achieve on our own is sin and pain and lowliness. We come seeking You, Lord, and seeking Your guidance upon our lives. We pray that You will intervene in our ways, Lord, and show us the way You would have us go instead. My family and I are wholly looking to fulfill Your will and purpose for our lives, and that can be so daunting. We ache to know the peace of feeling certain we are working for You in the manner You would have us do, Lord, and we pray you guide us strongly until we find it. This is all we have tonight, Lord, our prayer and our plea that You use us to Your purposes here on earth, and we pledge our lives to the cause of it. We are so tired of being weary, of being caught up in dissatisfaction because we keep going through the daily grind without a full and complete direction from You, Lord. We crave the wisdom to see what we can use the gifts You’ve given us to achieve for Your glory! We pray in the name of your holy Son, Lord, that You will show us the way and get our own selves out of the way. In humble supplication, through the loving sacrifice of Your Son, Amen.
