Have you ever felt confused about your life? Did you reach a point where you didn’t know what step to take next? Maybe every part of your life always made sense and then suddenly everything came crashing to the ground? Perhaps you have had a series of setbacks over the course of your journey, which made you question God’s will for your life? You are not alone.   

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.”  

– Psalm 143:8 NIV 

In Psalm 143:8, the psalmist despite his dire situation, wrote, “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.” His words reflect his trust in God’s faithfulness. Perhaps God seemed far away. But, this prayer is bold. He doesn’t just ask God to help him whenever. He writes, “Let the morning bring me word…” He trusts that God will make a way and show him the way he should go. In the same way, we should confidently come to God, our Father, knowing that if we completely surrender our lives to Him, God will show us the way to go.  

Think about the lyrics from the song, “Help me find it,”  by Sidewalk Prophets:

“I don’t know where to go from here
It all used to seem so clear
I’m finding I can’t do this on my own
I don’t know where to go from here
As long as I know that You are near
I’m done fighting
I’m finally letting go
I will trust in You

 If there’s a road I should walk Help me find it…  

I’m giving You fear and You give faith
I giving you doubt
You give me grace
For every step I’ve never been alone
Even when it hurts, You’ll have Your way
Even in the valley I will say
With every breath
You’ve never let me go
I will wait for You
You’ve never failed before
I will wait for You…
I lift my empty hands (come fill me up again)
Have Your way my King (I give my all to You)
I lift my eyes again (Was blind but now I see)
‘Cause You are all I need…”

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for always being there for us even when we feel confused and alone. When we feel lost, please help us confidently trust in You and Your unfailing love. Please help us to find the paths you would have us to walk. Amen.
