Can you believe it's been almost a whole year already? Time flies when we're growing in faith and community. As we celebrate this milestone, let's dive into the final month of 2023 with renewed vigor and a commitment to seeking God's guidance in all our decisions.
In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to forget to seek God's wisdom before making decisions. However, the Bible provides us with valuable insights on how to align our choices with His will.Β
Consulting God Before Decisions: A Biblical Approach
Let's explore together and learn how to make decisions that honor our Heavenly Father.
1) Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV):
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
2) James 1:5 (NIV):
"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
3) Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV):
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Journal Writing Prompt:

As we navigate the challenges of this month, let's collectively engage in a powerful prayer to guide our steps:
Dear Father God, This last month of 2023, We honor You and Your will for our lives. Help us go to You with any hurts and questions this month. Help us trust in You with all our hearts and lean not unto our own understanding. Take us to higher levels of health, grace, and the fruits of the Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit guide all our interactions and decisions. You are the healer, protector, and love of our lives. Work miracles before 2024. In Jesusβ name, we pray. Amen. ππΎ
May this prayer be our anchor as we embark on a month of seeking divine guidance. Thank you for being part of this incredible community.
Blessings,
