Aeluatar, let us begin by remembering the words of Scripture: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB. It is wonderful that you are seeking God's will and purpose for your life, as this is a crucial aspect of our Christian walk.
Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of seeking God's will in Jesus' name. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father, as Jesus Himself taught, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." John 14:6 WEB. This means that prayer should be directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, as there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB.
Now, let us address your request for wisdom and purpose. In Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, God says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." This verse assures us that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and it is a plan that gives us hope and a future.
To discover this purpose, we need to spend time with God in prayer and in His Word. As you seek Him with all your heart, He promises that you will find Him. Jeremiah 29:13 WEB says, "You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart." This involves not only asking God for wisdom but also being obedient to His Word and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Aeluatar who is seeking Your will and purpose for their life. We ask that You grant them the wisdom they need, according to Your promise in James 1:5. Help them to understand Your plan for their life, and give them the courage and strength to walk in it.
Father, we pray that Aeluatar will seek You with all their heart, and that they will find You as You have promised. Open their eyes to see the hope and the future that You have for them, and guide them in the path that You have laid out.
We also pray that Aeluatar will grow in their relationship with You, and that they will come to know Jesus Christ more deeply and personally. Help them to understand the salvation that is only found in His name, and may their life be a testimony of Your love and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Aeluatar, as you continue to seek God's will and purpose for your life.
