I’m between a rock and a hard place.

Ever had a decision to make that would cause a domino effect no matter how you look at it? It’s like it’s a lose-lose situation. In the end someone will get hurt; so what do you do?

In situations like this we have to wait and be still and wait on the Lord to speak. And we have to be careful to know His voice and not follow the desires of our own hearts or allow the enemy to trick us.

The Bible tells in Psalm 32:8 that the Lord will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go; He will counsel us with His eye upon us. The Word also tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

In a situation I’m dealing with I have been torn on what to do and right when I thought I had the strength and courage to make what I thought was the right decision, the phone rung and it changed everything. I was back in limbo, unsure of which way to turn.

Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. I haven’t received peace in this situation so I felt like God was telling me to just watch, wait, and be still. So that’s what I’ve been doing.

I had to pray to God to open up my eyes and take the blinders off. I had to pray and ask God to give me His wisdom to know what’s right for me and what’s not. What is permanent and what is just temporary.

Jeremiah 33:3 says Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

So I have called out to God and He has heard my cry. God has revealed Himself and I had to realize that I wanted something so bad but that’s not what God had for me. It’s like a “have your cake and eat it too” type thing.

Proverbs 16:9 says The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Oh glory hallelujah! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

Lord I’m thanking you in advance for your peace that surpasses all understanding. Dear God I praise Your Holy name and I surrender all to You Heavenly Father. Lord give me your wisdom. Allow your knowledge and your understanding to flow in my heart and out of my mouth. As I continue to wait, watch, and be still I thank you right now for peace, clarity, and understanding. I’ll continue to seek you dear God and give you all the honor, the glory, and the praise.

Lord your word says Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. So God you know what I am facing and you know how heavy this has weighed on my heart. Dear God I ask you right now to continue to guide me down the path You would have me to go and to make the decision that is pleasing to you even I don’t seem to understand. Have your way in my life, have your way in my home, have your way in my finances, have your way in my job, in the car, just have your way dear God. I will rejoice, I will praise, and I give you thanks in all things. For I ask these many blessings in Your son Jesus the Christ name. Amen. 🙏🏾

  1. Good morning. I pray this prayer for us both. Righteous God, keep me holy and true, like You have been to me. I declare that the doors You have opened, no one will shut, and the doors You have closed, no one will open. I declare Your will over my life and the life of those I come into contact with. In Christ name I pray Amen.
