Arise and go, for this is no place to rest, because of uncleanness that destroys with a grievous destruction.

Micah 2:10

Lord, give me wisdom and discernment to know when to stay and when to go. Show me when remaining in a place will not only cease to do me good, but may, in the end, bring me harm. Grant me the courage to make the decision to leave. I recognize this may mean that I will have to leave relationships behind or I may have to move into spaces that might be uncomfortable for me. You may be calling me to step into the unknown. I confess that I am often resistant, sometimes not choosing change because I have become comfortable with the status quo, and really don’t want to start over again. I can often look upon my circumstances with limited faith, resigning myself to the notion of “leaving well enough alone.” Yet, my soul seeks Your rest, peace and favor. What I long for more than anything in this life is fellowship with You. My ultimate desire is to be where You have purposed for me to be and to please You in all that I do. Therefore, show Your servant where You want me. Point out to me where that is. Grant me the spiritual courage to make the decision and step out by faith into the place You have planned for me. I know that where I go You will be with me, and that when I follow You, You will give me rest. Let this knowledge fuel my journey into the unknown as I walk by faith and not by sight to Your glory in Jesus’ Name.
