Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  

Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.

It’s not a program you attend.
It’s a pathway you practice.
A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

Have you ever felt paralyzed in making a decision? Maybe there are no good options or too many. Maybe your emotions are so finicky, or the opinions of others so loud that you can hardly think your own thoughts. You spiral as you try to predict the future and work backwards from all results and angles. Paul has these words for us. Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Sometimes moving forward means letting go. God is always calling you ahead, not back. Faith isn't found in what's familiar, but in trusting him for what's next. Take 20 seconds to thank God for calling you forward. Thank him that he has good plans prepared just for you, even if you don't have answers or know what decisions to make in this moment. Say, God, I invite you into this decision. Say, God, I invite you into this season. Say, God, I invite you into this relationship. Take a few deep breaths. Picture yourself walking toward the light of God's presence, leaving the shadows of the past behind. Using your own words, thank the Lord that He is always ahead of you, calling you onward. When you are done, close with an Amen.
