40-Day Worship Experience Youth DevotionalSample

As we head into the final stretch of the 40-Day Journey, the last simple prayer we are going to explore is this: “Jesus, give me wisdom and guidance.” This is something I pray daily—if not hourly!

Life can be so confusing at times, but ultimately God is the One who holds the future in His hands. We need divine direction regularly in order to make wise, faith-filled decisions. This is why your mornings spent with the Lord are invaluable. God has a path for you to take, and as you trust and seek Him, He reveals it to you.

God’s path leads to peace. When you remember that you can trust Him to lead you down the right path, you find rest and peace. You don’t have to carry the weight of the future. You don’t have to worry about every possible scenario or stress out over your inability to predict it all and control it all. Instead, you can trust God, seek His will, and walk down the path He sets before you, knowing that even if you take a wrong turn or mess up along the way, He will still be with you, continuing to lead and guide you.

As you pray this morning, seek God’s wisdom and direction. Ask Him to lead you down His path and to guide you into His peace. You don’t know what the future holds, but you know the One who holds the future.

Reflect

Can you remember a time when you felt anxious about a decision and turned to God for guidance? What happened? In what areas of your life do you need God’s wisdom and guidance today?
