A Prayer For Vision

A prayer for Vision

When I need a clearer vision of what God wants me to be

Dear God,

I want to have purpose. I want to see my way clearly in life; I want to be motivated to do something that counts. O Lord, I need vision—a picture of where you want me to be at some point in the future. How do I more clearly see what you created me to accomplish? It’s only when I empty myself of my own dreams that you can fill me with your vision of my future. Please help me. May I empty myself by keeping your Word before me each day, by having a clear conscience so I can more clearly hear the promptings of your Spirit, by listening to the godly wisdom of other believers, and by praying—communing directly with you. Oh, grant me the ability to believe that you have a purpose for me to achieve and a definite place where you want my life to go. Is there any vision more meaningful than that?

Open my eyes to see. Psalm 119:18
