W@W WRAP - Week 26: Ask God first

from W@W - Women@Work for God Hosted by Mariana Carroll

Have you lately come to a place where you simply just don’t know what to do next? Who do you turn to? Are you relying on your spouse, parents, mentors, leaders or friends for answers? I am not suggesting you don’t seek wise and Godly council – it is a Biblical principle. But where do you go FIRST? James 1:5-6 (MSG): “If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought…”

Hi everyone, this is my honour here. Welcome to your WoW app. Have you come to a place where you simply just don't know what to do? Who do you don't do?

Are you relying on your spouse, your parents, mentors, leaders or friends for answers? Not that I'm suggesting you don't seek wise and quietly counsel. It is a political principle. But where do you go first?

Our scripture this week comes from James 1 with his 5 and 6 and I'm reading from the message verifies. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. He'll get his help and won't be condescended to when you ask for it.

Ask boldly, believing without a second thought. Let us be determined this week to keep our eyes on the Lord. Seek him first and foremost, passionately praying, worshiping and boldly asking for wisdom and direction. Make it a habit to draw upon the Lord's mind for wisdom, understanding and guidance by giving our minds and thoughts in total surrender to God.

Let us allow the Lord's thoughts to supersede ours. That is how we sustain joy, peace and love in our hearts. And it's how we come to know what is right, what is true and what to do next. Let the Spirit of Truth lead and direct us to its God's will.

Turn to God's Word, the Bible, our foundation and G.P.A. is in life. Psalm 119, verse 105 says it's so beautifully. Your Word is a lamb to my feet and a life to my path.

Believe and trust in God's promises. He will instruct us and guide us along the best pathway for our lives. He will advise us and he will watch over us everywhere we go. And lastly, let us be directed by divine intelligence, acting in obedience and trusting God for the solution, not doubting, not even a little, but believing that God isn't controlled.

He is good, he does good and he wants the best for us. Let us pray together. Father God, you say in your word that we will find you if we seek you with all our hearts and with all our souls. We look to you for direction today.

We draw upon your mind Jesus for wisdom and understanding. Lord, we trust you with all our hearts. Help us to not lean on our own understanding or on others, but to seek you first. We want to know your ways.

Thank you that you are good. Thank you that you are our provider. Thank you for teaching us and for leading us on straight paths in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Have the most wonderful.
