• 1:34
  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:45
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 1:48
  - Rocha.
• 1:50
  - Well, we're coming to an end to September
• 1:53
  - and we've been learning how to study the
• 1:56
  - Bible so it changes your life.
• 1:58
  - We've moved from simply reading God's word to
• 2:01
  - living it and allowing scriptures to renew the
• 2:03
  - way we think.
• 2:06
  - For our final week, we're focusing on living
• 2:08
  - God's word in everyday life.
• 2:11
  - We'll look at how scripture and prayer can
• 2:13
  - guide our decisions, relationships, conversations, and everyday challenges.
• 2:18
  - Because transformation isn't just about what we know,
• 2:21
  - it's about allowing God's word to shape how
• 2:24
  - we live.
• 2:26
  - The key scripture
• 2:28
  - is coming from Psalm one nineteen one zero
• 2:31
  - five that says, your word is a lamp
• 2:34
  - for my feet, a light on my path.
• 2:38
  - This scripture is the scripture for the week.
• 2:42
  - And the strategy that we're going to be
• 2:44
  - using is read it, pray it, live it.
• 2:48
  - When you encounter a scripture this week, ask
• 2:50
  - three questions,
• 2:52
  - read it. What does God's word actually say?
• 2:55
  - Pray it.
• 2:57
  - How can I turn the truth into a
• 2:58
  - prayer about what I'm facing
• 3:01
  - and live it?
• 3:03
  - What would it look like to practice this
• 3:05
  - scripture today?
• 3:08
  - At the end,
• 3:11
  - the final question could be
• 3:13
  - where did God's word become visible in my
• 3:16
  - life today?
• 3:18
  - Today's key scripture
• 3:21
  - comes from Proverbs three, five through six
• 3:24
  - and says, trust in the Lord with all
• 3:25
  - your heart and lean, not on your own
• 3:28
  - understanding.
• 3:30
  - Today, we're gonna be addressing if you need
• 3:32
  - direction, how to let God's word guide your
• 3:35
  - decisions.
• 3:38
  - So some decisions don't come with an obvious
• 3:41
  - answer.
• 3:43
  - Should I stay or
• 3:46
  - leave? Should I speak
• 3:48
  - or remain quiet?
• 3:51
  - Do I move forward or wait?
• 3:54
  - We can spend so much time analyzing possibilities
• 3:57
  - that we're more confused than when we started.
• 4:01
  - We often want God to show us the
• 4:03
  - entire plan before we're willing to take the
• 4:05
  - first step,
• 4:07
  - but biblical guidance frequently works more like a
• 4:10
  - lamp than a spotlight.
• 4:12
  - God gives just enough light for the step
• 4:15
  - in front of us and asks us to
• 4:17
  - trust him with what we can't see yet.
• 4:21
  - Prayer changes the question from
• 4:24
  - how do I figure everything out to God?
• 4:27
  - How do I faithfully follow you today?
• 4:31
  - Bring the decision before God, search scripture for
• 4:34
  - principles that apply and ask for wisdom
• 4:37
  - and obey what is clear while trusting him
• 4:40
  - with what is it.
• 4:42
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 4:46
  - Dear Lord,
• 4:48
  - we need your wisdom today.
• 4:51
  - Keep us from allowing fear, pressure, or impatience
• 4:54
  - to make decisions for us.
• 4:56
  - Bring your word to our mind and show
• 4:58
  - us what honors you.
• 5:01
  - Give us wisdom for what is clear and
• 5:03
  - patience with what remains uncertain.
• 5:07
  - Teach us to trust your direction,
• 5:09
  - one faithful step at a time, and we
• 5:12
  - will bless you.
• 5:15
  - Before making an important decision today. Pause and
• 5:18
  - ask
• 5:19
  - what biblical truth should guide me here
• 5:23
  - for more practical resources that help you connect
• 5:26
  - scripture and prayer to everyday life.
