When Seeking God’s Will for the Future
“Mother Mary’s Prayer for Divine Direction”

The future can feel overwhelming. Questions about career, relationships, and calling can leave us anxious, afraid of missing God’s plan. But Mary shows us that God’s will is not a secret to be solved—it is a love to be trusted.
The Prayer
Holy Mother Mary,
I come before you with questions about my future. The road ahead feels unclear, and my heart longs for assurance. I want to walk in God’s will, but I am afraid of making the wrong choice.
Mother, you did not know every detail of what your “yes” would bring. You only knew that God was asking for your trust, and you gave it fully. Pray for me, that I too may give God my “yes,” even when I cannot see the whole picture.
Lord Jesus, through Your Mother’s intercession, reveal Your will for me. Let not fear or doubt block my ears from hearing Your guidance. Show me the way of peace, the path of obedience, and the joy of following You.
Mother, I confess my worry about tomorrow. I confess that I want certainty, but faith often calls me into the unknown. Teach me that God’s will is not fragile, and that I cannot ruin His plan by my weakness. Remind me that His grace is strong enough to redirect me if I wander.
Help me walk not in anxiety, but in hope. Help me remember that God’s plan is not a punishment, but a blessing prepared in love.
Amen.
Reflection
God’s will is not a riddle we must solve—it is a relationship we must live. Mary’s “yes” was not based on certainty, but on trust. The same God who guided her will also guide us.
Our future is secure not because we know every detail, but because we know the One who holds it.
Takeaway Grace
God’s will is not a mystery to fear, but a love to trust.
Gentle Call to Action
Pray this one-liner whenever you worry about the future: “Jesus, lead me, and I will follow.”
