Prayer for Guidance

[Anonymous]

I turned ### yesterday. When I look back, I realize that I have made a lot of mistakes in life especially last year. I wasn't dating right and I involved myself in sexual sin, abortion, porn addiction which I have been trying to do away with, I have led a life without prayers, not led by God. I haven't gone to church for ages, I feel I'm walking in a path not led by God. Honestly, I feel tired and regretful. I wanna lead a clean life but I don't know how. I have tried leading a prayerful life before but it's just not working. Most of the time I feel my prayers are empty. I found a good man who wants to marry me I would like this to work out. Dear Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I am helpless, a sinner and I don't know what to do.

We are truly blessed to come together in prayer for you, dear seeker. It is commendable that you have taken the first step towards reconciliation with God by acknowledging your past mistakes and expressing a sincere desire to change. Remember, it is not by our own strength, but by the grace of God that we are saved and transformed. As it is written in Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB: "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."

Firstly, we must address the sins that have been committed. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). However, forgiveness often involves repentance, which means turning away from our sins. In your case, this includes fornication, abortion, and pornography addiction. These are serious issues that God addresses in His word. Sexual sin is a sin against your own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-19 WEB). Abortion is considered murder (Exodus 20:13 WEB), the shedding of innocent blood that God hates (Proverbs 6:16-19 WEB). Pornography is lust, which is adultery of the heart (Matthew 5:28 WEB).

To overcome these sins, you must truly repent and turn away from them. This might involve drastic measures, such as cutting off relationships that lead to sexual sin, seeking counseling for pornography addiction, and committing to a life of purity and holiness. Remember, God will not be mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians 6:7 WEB).

Regarding your feelings of emptiness in prayer, remember that true prayer is a conversation with God, not a ritual or a mere repetition of words. It is not about what you say, but about the condition of your heart. As it is written in Matthew 6:7 WEB: "In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking."

We rejoice with you that you have found a good man who wants to marry you. Marriage is a blessed institution, a reflection of Christ's love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB). However, ensure that this man is a believer, as the Bible warns against being unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our dear seeker who has wandered away but is now seeking Your face once again. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness upon their life, for the sins they have committed. We pray for a spirit of repentance, for conviction, and for strength to turn away from these sins.

We pray for healing, Lord. Healing from the guilt, the shame, the regret. Heal their heart, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Restore to them the joy of Your salvation, and uphold them by Your generous Spirit (Psalm 51:12 WEB).

We pray for their prayer life, Lord. Teach them to pray, to communion with You, to seek Your face. Make their prayers alive, a sweet aroma to Your nostrils.

We pray for their upcoming marriage, Lord. Bless this union, guide them as they prepare, and may this marriage be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness.

Lastly, Lord, we pray for their walk with You. Guide them, lead them, mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ. May they never stray from You again, but walk in Your paths, all the days of their life.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, dear seeker. God is at work in your life. Trust in Him, walk in His ways, and He will direct your paths. Psalm 37:23-24 WEB: "A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Yahweh upholds him with his hand."

Dear friend, we're here with you, holding you up in prayer. We understand the weight of regret and the struggle to find the right path. We're not perfect either, but we find comfort in Jesus' love and grace.

First, let's remember that God sees your heart, and He's moved by your sincerity. He's not keeping score of your mistakes, but He's eager to forgive and heal (Psalm 103:12). So, let's ask Him to forgive you, to cleanse you, and to fill you with His peace.

Now, about those struggles... It's like trying to walk through a dark forest without a map. But God's given us a lamp - His Word. It guides us, teaches us, and shows us the way out of sin (Psalm 119:105). So, let's ask Him to help you understand and apply His Word to your life. Let's pray for wisdom, for strength to resist temptations, and for a pure heart that desires Him above all else.

And about your future husband, that's wonderful! Marriage is a beautiful thing, a reflection of Christ's love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). But remember, it's crucial that he shares your faith. Unequal yokes can lead to heartache (2 Corinthians 6:14). So, let's pray for God's guidance in your relationship, that it would honor Him and bring you both closer to Him.

Lastly, friend, let's not forget that God's got this. He's working in your life, even when you can't see it. Trust Him, walk with Him, and He'll direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). You're not alone, and you're never too far gone for God's love and grace.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up our friend. We ask for Your forgiveness, Your healing, and Your guidance. Help them to understand and apply Your Word, to resist temptations, and to desire You above all else. Guide them in their relationship, that it would honor You and bring them both closer to You. Give them wisdom, strength, and trust in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother or sister in Christ. We are truly honored that you have given us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you have asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We hope that you have felt our prayers and God's love these last few days.

If you have started seeing God's guidance in your life and feel that He has started answering your prayers, please let us know so we can all praise His name out loud. We are dying to hear how God has showed up in your life. The enemy wants you to feel alone, condemned and ashamed. That is not how God wants you to feel. He wants to shower you with His boundless love. So if you do not feel that your prayers have been answered, remember, God is not distant and unhearing. He is right here with you. His timing is not always our timing. Remember His promise in Isaiah 55:9. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'

So if your life still feels empty, if you still feel stuck in sin. Do not give up. Take heart in knowing that we serve a relentless God who is working tirelessly to make your path straight again. So post your prayers again, and allow us to continue the good fight with you through prayer. Because we know this. God is for you and so are we.

May God bless you as you continue to seek His will for your life and His peace that transcends all understanding. We pray that He will show His love for you like a cornerstone. He has good plans for your life, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, remember His promise in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.' Please know you are deeply loved. May God guide you and turn your life into a testimony of His grace, AMEN. Pray in Jesus NAME.
