5 Prayers of Humilityنموونە

Prayer 3: “Lord, Please Lead Me and Guide Me."

As you walk down life's path, you will face many uncertain and challenging circumstances. However, if you ask the Lord to lead you and guide you through it all, He will show you the path of success in Him—and He will protect you from the path of failure.

When you proactively ask the Lord to lead you and guide you, you admit your dependence on Him.

By praying this very simple, one-sentence prayer ("Lord, please lead me and guide me!"), you accomplish several things:

• You acknowledge your need for Him.
• You demonstrate that you do not have an arrogant, know-it-all attitude.
• You acknowledge that you need Jesus to lead you to a safe harbor.
• You are actively admitting that He sees things from a far superior perspective than you do; that He knows more than you know; and that you need His wisdom.

This simple prayer shows an attitude and heart of humility, and God will reward you for it.

So go ahead and pray! Simply bow your head right now, just as you are, and petition the Father in Jesus’ name to lead you and guide you. He will hear your prayer. And He will help you navigate your life—and His plans for you—with infinite wisdom, as only He can.
