CONFUSED?

Are you confused about your own life?  About what you see around you?  Perhaps God's Word can help you gain perspective.  Why not begin with this short prayer and then spend some time listening to God speak to you through His Word.

Prayer: Dear God, I would like to ask You right now to remove all confusion from me. Lord, You above all else, know how confused I am by these situations.  Help me to know that You are the author of peace and not of confusion and that I am supposed to be leaning on You and Your Word and not on my own understanding. Thank You in Jesus' name for honoring my prayer. Amen

God, in accordance with Your Word ...
