“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”
James 1:5 NLT
The novelty of summer has faded, the routines are blurred, and maybe your soul feels just as wilted as the potted plant on your porch that you keep forgetting to water.
You’re tired.
Tired of juggling needs, navigating decisions, trying to hold it all together.
Tired of not knowing what’s next or how to get there.
Tired of wondering if you’re doing any of it “right.”
Sister, if that’s you — if your heart feels heavy or your mind cluttered — lean in close:
God has not left you to figure it all out on your own.
He sees you, He is with you, and He generously offers His wisdom when you ask.
You don’t have to know the whole path forward.
You don’t need to have the perfect plan.
You just need to be held by the One who already knows the way.
Summer can feel like a wandering place — a little lost between what’s behind and what’s ahead. But God is not lost, and you are not forgotten. His wisdom is not a treasure buried deep for the worthy to uncover. It’s freely given to the daughter who simply asks.
James 1:5 promises that when we need wisdom, our generous God will give it, and He won’t shame us for needing help. Isn’t that beautiful?
So today, instead of spiraling in uncertainty or wearing yourself out with worry, pause. Breathe. Ask.
God, what do You want me to know right now?
What is the next right thing You’re inviting me into?
And then — wait for the whisper. He will speak. Through His Word, through His Spirit, through the quiet nudge in your heart or the peace that settles where anxiety once lived.
Friend, you’re not drifting. You’re being led. Not by pressure or fear, but by the faithful wisdom of a God who loves you.
Even in the middle — especially in the middle — His guidance is steady. His truth still stands. His presence never leaves. And His wisdom is the light that will lead you through.
Let His voice be louder than your inner critic. Let His promises anchor you when your to-do list overwhelms. Let His counsel carry you forward, one simple, Spirit-led step at a time.
You are not directionless.
You are not too late.
You are not alone.
Prayer:
God, You know the weight I’m carrying and the questions I don’t have answers for. Thank You for being my steady guide. Quiet the noise around me and within me so I can hear Your voice. Give me Your wisdom for this moment, this decision, this day. I trust You to lead me, one step at a time. Amen.

Thank you for this timely devotion. I am seeking God’s direction for my job and career. Trusting Him. Will be asking about what he wants for me now, in this moment.
I too am searching for guidance in my career. Thank you for this very timely post. Praying we are all open to the path he is leading us on and that we hear and feel the nudges he provides.
Thank you ~ this was perfect for me!
~ food for my soul!
Happy Sabbath to you
Perfect for what I am going through at the moment that. I can ask God for wisdom to know how to do the right thing for my life. Trust God everything will work out in his perfect timing in his way. If not his will it will not be for me and to accept that. Know God knows what best for me. If I have to go doing what I do God will give me the strength to do it. As Philippians 4:13 say”I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” know he will trusting God. Even if things don’t go the way I want them too. I just keep on doing what I have been doing and know what that verse says and believe God will do what it’s say. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little Enniskillen Co.Fermanagh N.Ireland xx
