10 Verses to Help You Seek God’s Will for Your Life

Seeking God’s guidance and discovering His will for our life can be a daunting challenge.

God’s word does not return void.

It’s ever-present, ready to reveal God’s truth and speak into our lives. If only, we take the time to open it and meditate on the lessons taught within its covers.

Please consider meditating on these 10 verses that emphasize trust in the Lord, seeking His wisdom, and relying on His direction:

1. Proverbs 3:5-6  

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

2. James 1:5

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

3. Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

4. Psalm 32:8

The Lord says, I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.

    I will advise you and watch over you.

5. Psalm 37:4-5

Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.

6. Isaiah 30:21

Your own ears will hear him.

    Right behind you a voice will say,

“This is the way you should go,”

    whether to the right or to the left.

7. Philippians 4:6-7

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

8. Romans 12:1-2

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect

9. Psalm 119:105 

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet

    and a light for my path.

10. Matthew 7:7

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

God has a plan and a path for you. Amid the brokenness of the world we live in, it can be hard to see what God’s will for us is. We can’t see clearly for all the fog. We can’t hear because of all the noise.

I believe that the scriptures above can serve as a foundation for your prayer and meditation as you seek God’s guidance in discovering His will for your life. These verses remind us of the importance of trusting in God, seeking His wisdom, and being open to the direction He provides. As you reflect on these verses, let them dwell in your heart as you seek to discern God’s will for your life.

God has a plan for you.

Know you are loved.

Please pray for our country—indeed pray for the world. We need God more than ever.
