We spend so much time asking God for a sign that we sometimes forget the greatest answer isn’t always immediate certainty. Sometimes it’s the gentle assurance that he is still leading us, even before we understand where the road is taking us.

God,

If I’m on the right path, help me trust it.

If I’m not, don’t let me keep walking it.

I’m doing the best I can with what I know right now, but I know my perspective is limited and yours isn’t.

If there’s something I need to see, show me.

If there’s a conversation I need to have, arrange it.

If there’s a door I need to stop knocking on, give me the strength to walk away.

And if I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, even though it doesn’t feel like it yet, remind me that your silence has never meant your absence.

Help me recognize your guidance, even when it doesn’t arrive the way I expected.

Amen.
