  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 0:16
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 0:23
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 0:26
  - Rocha.
• 0:28
  - Today's prayer focuses how to hear God's direction.
• 0:32
  - Scripture text comes from Psalms twenty five four
• 0:35
  - through five and says, show me your ways.
• 0:37
  - Lord,
• 0:38
  - teach me your paths.
• 0:40
  - Guide me in your truth and teach me.
• 0:47
  - You know, after letting go, we often want
• 0:50
  - God to immediately tell us what comes next.
• 0:55
  - We want the plan,
• 0:57
  - the timeline,
• 0:58
  - the nest nation,
• 1:00
  - the who's, what's, wheres, and when's.
• 1:03
  - But sometimes God's direction unfolds one step at
• 1:07
  - a time,
• 1:09
  - which is a good thing because we might
• 1:11
  - stumble if he unfolded the whole plan or
• 1:13
  - just simply turn and go the opposite direction.
• 1:17
  - We're often listening to a complete answer when
• 1:20
  - God may be giving us enough direction for
• 1:23
  - today.
• 1:24
  - And when the answer isn't dramatic,
• 1:27
  - we can overlook the guidance already available through
• 1:30
  - scripture,
• 1:31
  - his wisdom,
• 1:33
  - prayer, and a faithful obedience.
• 1:38
  - So maybe
• 1:40
  - rather than demanding the entire map,
• 1:44
  - maybe we should
• 1:45
  - step out
• 1:47
  - one faithful step at a time
• 1:50
  - by paying attention
• 1:52
  - and asking in a soft, gentle voice.
• 1:56
  - What has God already made clear in his
• 1:59
  - word?
• 2:00
  - And what requires obedience today?
• 2:04
  - What can you do without knowing everything that
• 2:06
  - comes afterward?
• 2:09
  - Direction often becomes clearer while we're walking faithfully.
• 2:14
  - That being said,
• 2:16
  - let's go to the
• 2:19
  - throne. Father,
• 2:20
  - guide our steps and help us recognize your
• 2:23
  - direction.
• 2:25
  - Help us from rushing ahead because
• 2:27
  - we always want the answers.
• 2:31
  - Give us wisdom for today and faith to
• 2:33
  - follow what you've already made clear,
• 2:37
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 2:41
  - Well,
• 2:43
  - it's always good to know that we don't
• 2:45
  - need the whole map today.
• 2:48
  - We can ask God for the next faithful
• 2:51
  - step,
• 2:52
  - and he will happily oblige.
• 2:54
  - And if someone you know is searching for
• 2:56
  - direction,
• 2:57
  - share this prayer with him.
• 2:59
  - And remember,
• 3:01
  - follow the light God has already given.
