“Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭ESV

I read this and thought I need different versions because I want to be sure it means what I think it means.

“Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Yesterday I think I complained that I might be pausing too much to keep questioning whether or not this is the right path. But here it’s saying think about where you’re stepping and wonder if the path that you are on is the right path and if it’s heading in the right direction. Maybe I was doing it wrong because I was doing it without God assistance but the right thing to do in this moment would be to pray while I ponder where my feet are going.

God, I’ve heard it time and time again that if I am following your well something will just feel right. And I don’t think I feel like this is the path you want me and working nine hours a day at a cubicle or maybe it’s just not the path that I will be on for the rest of my life. Sometimes I question if anything I’m doing will be right with your will so Lord I pray that when I am aligned with your well that I would feel “Right”. That I wouldn’t doubt what’s happening and that I would feel a lot of your joy in where I am and that I still keep you so close to my heart to remind myself that I wasn’t here because of my own doings but your grace. I pray for patience, I pray for a careful tongue, I pray for a heart that doesn’t question your goodness but celebrates your greatness and spend more moments in fellowship with you Jesus. I pray that feelings that I’m compromising who I am to follow you would it be replaced by the truth of who I really am, Who you designed me to be and to fully understand that it isn’t a compromised version of me but a full complete version of who I was meant to be and that there would be joy in that.  I think you for the job I have I thank you for the art gallery I visited today I thank you for your mind and heart that is desiring to be follow you and I pray for a continual protection over distractions and discouragement’s and that I’d be more aware in general that you are near, that your love is near and that your strength and happiness is with me as well, I pray all these things in your son’s precious name amen.
