Key Scripture: James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

Devotional

Prayer for direction acknowledges our need for God’s wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us that God is generous with guidance and does not shame us for asking. Prayer becomes the place where uncertainty meets divine clarity.

Often, we want direction before we pray, but God invites us to pray so direction can unfold. Prayer positions our hearts to listen and our spirits to discern. Sometimes God gives clear answers; other times He gives peace for the next step.

Seeking direction in prayer also requires patience. God may not reveal the full picture at once, but He promises wisdom for each step we take in faith. Prayer keeps us aligned while we wait.

God delights in guiding His children. Prayer invites His leadership into every decision.
