Exodus 25-27, Psalm 25
Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)
“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.”
In Psalm 25:4–5, David expresses his desire for guidance, understanding, and instruction from the Lord. He asks Father-God to show him His ways so that he can understand His will. David demonstrates a willingness to learn and be led by the Lord. He recognizes that Father-God is the source of his salvation—the One who delivers him from danger and from his enemies. David also shows patience, trusting in the Lord’s timing and provision.
These verses resonate deeply with me, and I feel the need to keep them visible as a daily reminder. My church recently completed a 21-day prayer and fast for the new year, and one of our senior pastors encouraged us not to focus solely on asking God to fulfill our requests, but instead to ask, “Lord, what is Your will and plan for my life this year?” When I tried praying this way, it felt unfamiliar at first. Then I realized that Father-God already knows my desires—I don’t need to list them repeatedly during prayer and fasting.
Something happened during this time that felt truly miraculous to me. My best friend, who has never shown interest in faith or church, told me she wanted to attend one of my senior pastor’s evangelistic meetings. Over time, I had simply shared with her what I was experiencing at church and how it was shaping my life, without any expectation that she would respond. She has always been strongly opposed to organized religion, so this was completely unexpected. When I looked up my pastor’s schedule, I discovered he would be preaching at a revival meeting near where she lives. When I shared this with her, she said she was going to go.
I had been praying for the Lord to bring new friends into my life who love Him, since none of my close friends are currently believers. Instead of giving me new friendships, Father-God answered my prayer by drawing my best friend toward Him. That shift alone feels miraculous to me. Whatever happens next, I trust that she will have an encounter with the Lord this year. Knowing that something I once thought was impossible is now unfolding fills me with joy.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who makes the impossible possible in our lives—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
