For Those Facing Heavy Decisions

Spirit of Comfort,
Be present for those who find themselves in situations where they need to make hard, heavy decisions. When choices will significantly impact families, finances, and futures, do not let those decisions be rash or hasty. When circumstances require a decision to be made urgently or in a very short timeframe, grant those decision-makers an extra measure of your Spirit, and surround them with wisdom and counsel. When gut-wrenching end-of-life decisions need to be made, let the confidence of the Resurrection and eternal life wash over and calm troubled, anxious hearts. Move believers in the body of Christ to offer the comfort of their presence for those facing emotionally draining decisions, so that they don’t have to make those decisions alone.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Distinguish Between What’s Interesting and What’s Important

Santifying Spirit,
Our days are filled with choices to make. Possibilities are endless. Without your guidance and direction, we pursue far too much that offers little more than entertainment value, not truly serving you, others, or ourselves in any meaningful way. Grant us the discernment to differentiate what is interesting and what is important. We are easily deceived into believing something is important simply because we’re interested in it. But when you enlighten us to compare what you consider important with what we consider important, the differences become glaringly obvious. Then, when we see the differences, give us the discipline to pursue more God things than just good things. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Be More Decisive

God of Wisdom,
When I am wrestling with endless responsibilities and decisions to make, it can feel overwhelming. Then, when I feel overwhelmed, I feel the pull to put off, to procrastinate, or just to avoid doing anything at all – even though I know from experience that doing so only makes matters worse!

Help me overcome indecision and spur me on to take action – any action. Indecision can be so crippling; sometimes, even making the wrong decision is the better alternative, since it gets me a step closer to the right solution. Grant me the confidence to be decisive and to trust you to guide me in the way that is best. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
