Standing in the Need of Prayer

I always thought once we close a chapter in our lives that chapter would have an end. Recently, I have been faced with the challenge of going back to a chapter in my life that has long been over. For me, it has been challenging because it was a chapter that I did not want to close, yet, when I closed it I knew in my heart that it had to be that way. I always felt that when the time was right, I would be able to face this part of my life. Now for the first time in over seventeen years the reality of this situation is starring me in the face. I don't know whether to run away from it or to run directly towards it. Yet, what I do know is that this thing must be dealt with, otherwise, I will never know the truth about whether the roads that I have travel are my choices are or they in fact the path that God would have for me. For me this is hard because I have never been in a position to make choices that would directly affect the lives of others. Therefore, I want to be absolutely sure that if I make the right or wrong choice I will be ready and willing to deal with what comes next. I ask for your prayers for this a New Year, last year was trying and tested my faith. I am in need of guidance from God. I trust in Him and know that God has a will for my life, I also know that there have been times in my life when I choose my own path. I have grown and matured away from wanting what I want. As I travel on this journey and face situations in my life that I thought were apart of my past, I am asking those who truly know and have faith in God to pray with me for direction and most of all pray with me as I make choices in my life that will not only affect me, but will be life changing for everyone that I love. I claim the victory and I know that God's will will reveal itself. I live to please God and I know that "No weapon formed against me shall prosper." Be Blessed and have a wonderful New Year!
