Powerful Prayers for God's Guidance

One of the most powerful ways to pray is by praying according to the word of God. When we speak life into scripture, they transform from words on paper into supernatural declarations. God honors His word, ensuring He fulfills every promise without fail. As Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Therefore, when God says, “I will not leave you nor forsake you,” He truly means it, even if our circumstances might suggest otherwise. It is left up to us to apply faith to our prayers, trusting that God’s word is true, and that He is able to do what He says He will do.

As we rely on God through prayer, He will grant us wisdom and direction to do His will. All we have to do is ask, seek, and pray. When seeking the Lord for divine guidance, utilize the following scripture-based prayer points.
