A Prayer About Problem Solving

When I need to correct or resolve an issue

HEAVENLY FATHER,

I have always seen myself as a problem solver, a fixer. When I see something that needs fixing, I check out the situation, analyze it, decide what needs to happen, and get it done. I confess that I often attempt this on my own, trying plans A to Z until I’m out of options. Then I turn in desperation to you and ask for your help. Please forgive me for that approach. Instead of last, you should be my first resort, mainly because I want to live your way and because you are the ultimate Problem Solver. Nothing is beyond your wisdom and power. You can lead me to the right solution, whether that is plan A, B, or whatever. You know I am facing a difficult problem. More than a sticky situation, to me it looks insurmountable, impossible. But with you all things are possible. So I ask for wisdom to know what to do. What approach should I take? Whose help should I enlist? Please lead me and strengthen me for the task.

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” Mark 10:27
