This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16
Father, many times, tough decisions and baffling challenges threaten our equilibrium, as we stand at the crossroads in disquiet and indecision. Thank You for those you have placed in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives who can point us to "the ancient paths"; those who by experience and wisdom know "where the good way is."
Help me, Lord, to have the wisdom and the humility to seek out wise counsel and the knowledge I need to move forward. Help me to not just ask for, but to accept instruction and advice. Help me to "walk in [the good way]" so that my soul finds rest. Help me not to be like the ones who reject wise counsel and say, "We will not walk in it." (Jeremiah 6:16)
