A Prayer for Guidance ... Unpacking Psalm 143:10

Updated: Dec 31, 2024

Greetings,


A Prayer for Guidance


"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." — Psalm 143:10


Psalm 143:10

Unpacking Psalm 143:10


Psalm 143:10, "Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground," is a profound prayer of submission, guidance, and trust in God. This verse encapsulates the psalmist’s yearning for alignment with God’s purposes and reliance on His Spirit for stability and direction. It offers a rich tapestry of insights into the heart of discipleship and a life surrendered to God.


The opening plea, "Teach me to do your will," reflects the humility and teachability essential for spiritual growth. It acknowledges that understanding and doing God’s will is not something we can achieve on our own but requires divine instruction. This request mirrors the attitude of dependence seen in other parts of Scripture, such as Proverbs 3:5-6, which calls believers to trust in the Lord and lean not on their understanding. The psalmist’s desire to be taught suggests an openness to correction and a willingness to follow wherever God leads, even when His will differs from personal desires or expectations.



The declaration "for you are my God" reinforces the personal relationship between the psalmist and God. It is a statement of faith and allegiance, affirming that God is not just a distant deity but a close and personal guide. This intimate connection is foundational to understanding and obeying God’s will. The psalmist’s acknowledgment of God as “my God” reflects a deep trust that God’s plans are good and His ways are perfect, as echoed in passages like Romans 8:28 and Psalm 18:30.


"May your good Spirit lead me on level ground" shifts the focus to the active role of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life. The psalmist recognizes that human effort alone is insufficient to navigate life’s challenges and complexities. The Holy Spirit is described as "good," emphasizing His perfect guidance and unwavering commitment to lead believers in truth and righteousness. This resonates with Jesus’ promise in John 16:13 that the Spirit of truth will guide us into all truth. By asking to be led on “level ground,” the psalmist seeks stability, clarity, and safety amid life’s uncertainties and adversities. This imagery of level ground contrasts with the uneven, treacherous paths of life that can cause stumbling, reminding us of God’s ability to provide steadiness and direction.

The verse also highlights the importance of aligning personal desires with God’s overarching purposes. The psalmist’s prayer is not self-centered but rooted in a longing to fulfill God’s will. This aligns with the model of prayer Jesus gives in Matthew 6:10: "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Such prayers shift the focus from personal ambitions to God’s greater plan, fostering a spirit of surrender and trust.


In application, this verse challenges believers to cultivate a posture of teachability and reliance on God. It invites reflection on areas where personal will might conflict with God’s, encouraging a prayerful submission to His plans. It also underscores the necessity of the Holy Spirit’s guidance in daily decisions and long-term pursuits. Seeking God’s Spirit to lead on level ground is particularly relevant in times of uncertainty, fear, or significant transitions, providing comfort and assurance that He is present and actively involved in every step of the journey.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
