Prayer is one of the most powerful tools in the arsenal of faith. In May, many of us will have important decisions to make. So ask God now, and pray for guidance and wisdom in making important decisions. Daily Devotional for 1 May.
Pray for Guidance and Wisdom
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” (James 1:5:)
The words of the Apostle James remind us of a fundamental truth for every believer: when it comes to difficult decisions, we can turn to God for guidance and wisdom. Of course, it is wise not to rely on our own understanding alone, but we can boldly turn to our Heavenly Father for the grace of wisdom. We can boldly ask Him to guide us through the uncertainty of our circumstances.
We acknowledge that we need God’s help when we ask for guidance and wisdom. This is the first step to wisdom. It is the first step to realizing that we cannot do everything by our human efforts. We need God’s guidance and direction to make the right choices.
Devotional for every day here: Daily Devotional
Prayer is not a one-time event but an ongoing conversation with God. We can ask for God’s guidance in every decision we make. Remember, for example, that we can ask for wisdom when choosing a career path, making financial decisions, choosing a life partner, or making any other important decision.
By praying, we can also discern God’s will for our lives. When we trust Him, He will direct our paths and guide us in the right direction.
My brothers and sisters, remember that prayer for guidance and wisdom is essential to the Christian life. We can approach God with confidence, knowing that He hears our prayers.

Heavenly Father, we come to you today asking for your guidance and wisdom as we make important life decisions. Please help us to seek your will and trust in your plan for us. Give us discernment to distinguish between right and wrong and the courage to follow the path you have laid out for us. We know that all things are possible with you and that you are our source of strength and guidance. Thank you for hearing our prayer, and we pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
