I challenge myself to pray for God's direction in life using the bible.

A brother once taught me to pray for God's direction in my career with the words in the bible. At the time, I still did not know how to do it. I have never done that before. So the brother suggested two scripture verses to start with. 

Here are the two(2) verses in the Amplified Bible version:

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you", says the Lord, "thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome".

Isaiah 55:8-9 - "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways", says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."

Now I challenge myself to practice what that brother taught me - to pray for God's direction in whatever things I want to do using the bible as my guide. I have met failure after failure in my career. My life is filled with setbacks because I never really listened to God's will when I pray.
