A Prayer for When Your Future Feels Unknown

We know that God is with us and with our futures. It can be really easy to live in a future hope — so much so that we can miss the present — our once future. Even though we have so many hope-filled promises about the future, Jesus also reminds us to take care of what will happen today.

Dear Lord, I can’t help but think about my future. I often do not feel satisfied with how my life is going at the moment. So, I dream, agonize, complain, and live for the future I hope to see. I know this way of thinking does not bring you glory, it is not good for my mental health, and then it becomes all about me.

I pray that you will be with us all as we navigate our past experiences, live our lives in the present, and have a healthy desire and longing for our futures. I pray that you will be with the future that is unknown and that your will and glory be done in our lives — past, present, and future.
