guidance

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. ⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

⁸I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.

¹⁰⁵Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my paths.

¹³But when the Spirit of truth has arrived, he will teach the whole truth to you. For he will not be speaking from himself. Instead, whatever he will hear, he will speak. And he will announce to you the things that are to come.

²¹And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”

¹⁴Where there is no governor, the people shall fall. But where there is much counsel, well-being shall be.

⁹The heart of man disposes his way. But it is for Lord to direct his steps.

⁷Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened. ⁹Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone; ¹⁰or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake? ¹¹Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?

⁴May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths. ⁵Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.

⁵But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him. ⁶But he should ask with faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave on the ocean, which is moved about by the wind and carried away;

²³The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way. ²⁴When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.

¹¹And the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not fail.

²⁶But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will suggest to you everything whatsoever that I have said to you.

²³The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.

⁵But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
