A Prayer for the Courage to Follow God's Leading by April Graney

What does it look like to obey God when the path ahead is unclear? In this episode, we reflect on Abraham’s faith-filled obedience and connect it to a modern-day story of trusting God’s leading—even when it doesn’t make sense at first.

Through a personal testimony of a daughter and son-in-law stepping into missionary work in Guatemala, we are reminded that obedience often requires courage, surrender, and trust. God’s call may not come with all the details, but His presence always goes with us.

Reference: Hebrews 11:8

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray for the courage to listen for your voice and to obey the callings that you place on our lives. May we also support and encourage that calling in our children’s lives. We release our children into your loving hands, and pray your blessing upon them and those they touch with your love and grace. Amen.
