A Prayer for Uncertainty

God,
I wish I knew what comes next.
I wish I had clarity, or direction, or at least reassurance
that I am choosing the right thing.

Instead, I’m here —
unsure,
waiting,
trying to make peace with questions that don’t yet have answers.

I don’t know what this season is shaping.
I don’t know what will open or what will close.
And I don’t know how long this not-knowing will last.

If certainty isn’t possible right now,
help me find steadiness instead.
If answers aren’t available,
help me trust that I am not alone in the waiting.

Teach me how to live honestly in the in-between —
not rushing ahead,
not shutting down,
but staying present to what is real today.

Hold my questions without judgment.
Hold my fear without urgency.
And help me believe that clarity does not define faith —
presence does.

I place this uncertainty in Your care,
not because I understand it,
but because I need somewhere to set it down.

Amen.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.”
— Proverbs 3:5

You’re welcome to sit with this as long as you need.
