Seeking Clarity and Direction (Part 3 Of A 3 Part Series)


Today will conclude the three-part series with Bible verses for seeking clarity and direction. You are welcome to read the previous posts here and here.
This week's Bible verses can be added to your journal. I will be adding them to my journal as well: 😊
  • The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him; Psalm 37:23 (NIV)
  • For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. Psalm 48:14 (NIV)
  • The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)
  • Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions. Psalm 119:18 (NLT)
  • Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 (NLT)
Seeking clarity and direction may come to us immediately, or it may take time. We can continue to turn to these Bible verses when it takes longer than we hoped. When things become clear, we can be confident that we are going in the right direction with guidance from the Lord.

Let us pray together, 
Dear Heavenly Father, 
We come to You with confidence that You are here to guide us when we turn to Your word in the Bible for clarity and direction. 

In the name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen

May you have a blessed week.

With love,
Patty

Seeking Clarity and Direction (Part 1 Of A 3 Part Series)


Are you seeking clarity and direction in your life? Whether it might be finding a job, a place to live, purchasing a car, how to proceed with health-related issues, or seeking care for a family member. Although I realize there are other areas you may be seeking clarity and direction on, feel free to fill in the blank.
 I'm seeking clarity and direction for:
_____________________________

There are many areas in my life in which I seek clarity and direction-should I continue to live in an apartment or find a home, when should I retire, and should I  enroll in some online college courses.
I've heard a suggestion of writing out the pros and cons when trying to make a decision. Have you ever tried that? In the past, I have found it to be beneficial. 
Talking with family members and friends can bring a new perspective that can be helpful.
Praying for God to provide guidance to help us along the way is vital through all of this. There are many Bible verses on clarity that we can read and reflect on. Because there are so many, I will extend this over the next two weeks. I want to encourage you to write the Bible verses in a journal or notebook and ask God to open your heart and mind to what He wants you to hear. I'll be doing this right alongside you. 😊

Here are this week's Bible verses for clarity and direction:
  • Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths." Psalm 25:4 (NIV)
  • This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17 (NIV)
  • I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8 (NIV)
  • He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way." Psalm 25:9 (NIV)
  • Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)
May you have a blessed week. 

With love,
Patty
