Do You Know Where You’re Going?

Have you ever been driving or walking somewhere and found yourself completely lost? No matter which way you turned, nothing looked familiar and you had no idea where you were. Do you remember the feeling of relief when you finally found the right way?

Perhaps you feel lost in life. Maybe you don’t know where you’re going or what you’re supposed to do. Well, someone does know. God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, “ ‘I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for’ ” (Message). If you’re lost and need to find your way, simply pray this prayer:

God,
I come to You in Jesus’ Name. I admit that I’m lost and need help in life. The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom. 10:9 NLT). I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus, Your Son, from the dead. And I  confess Jesus as my Lord. Therefore, according to Your Word, I am saved. I look to You to take care of me. Show me where to go and what to do. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
