Will God answer my prayers and show me what to do?

What is the right path for me?

Is it reasonable for Christians to expect God to show us what to do?

Yes, the Bible is clear that God provides leadership and direction to His people.

1. Expect God to honor the promises in His written word. See verses below.

2. From an obedient heart, claim these promises in your own life. See verses below.

3. Expect God to answer your prayers for guidance. Praying for rain and then not carrying your umbrella is a silly way to pray. Believing prayer based on the promises of God gets results.

4. When God provides guidance obey Him and do what He shows you to do.

5. Guidance may come through circumstances, one door closing and another door opening, a job offer or transfer to another area, an opportunity disguised as a duty like taking care of an aging relative, a defeat or setback which prompts you to change course or let go of something that wasn't working very well in your life anyway, etc.
