Evening Prayer — Guidance | Friday, August 7, 2026

As this week draws to a close, we think about the decisions we faced, some clear and some genuinely uncertain. Tonight, we thank You for the quiet guidance that showed up along the way — a sense of direction when we needed it, a peace that confirmed we were on the right path, even when we couldn't fully explain why.
There were moments this week we moved forward on our own instincts instead of pausing to seek Your leading. We recognize that now, and we release the pressure of having had every step mapped out perfectly. Instead, we simply thank You for the guidance we did receive, trusting that You were directing us even in the choices we made without fully realizing it.
As we close this week, we ask for continued guidance in the days ahead, not because we'll always understand the path clearly, but because we're learning to trust the One who sees the whole journey. We rest tonight, grateful for a guidance that never left us wandering alone.
A Word of Reflection
Guidance often reveals itself only in hindsight, though it was present all along. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you" (Psalm 32:8) reminds us that God's leading is constant, even when we don't recognize it in the moment. As this week ends, we can rest knowing that whatever path we took, we were never navigating it without direction.
