In January, we celebrate the Epiphany. God led the three Kings by a star to find and worship the Christ child. The Bible is full of stories of God leading people to do miraculous things because they felt God’s leading: Noah, Abraham, and Paul to name a few. As you pray this month, please consider the following:
- Lord, what are you asking of me? Please make it clear. Please give me an unmistakable sign of what You want me to do. I am truly listening and ready to follow Your leading.
- Please give me courage, Lord. I am leaning on You for the strength to do what You are asking of me. Please give me energy and clarity of purpose to follow Your leading.
- Focus on the first step to follow God’s leading. Ask: “Is this the right way? Please open the door to help me get this done.” If it is the proper fist step, the next steps will become clear.
- God will not ask you to do more than you can handle. Ask Him for the protection of your health and mental state. Some projects can extract a cost from both of those.
- And, remember, whatever God asks us to do is for His glory, not ours.
