Allowing God to Lead – Psalm 25:5
“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”
Drama Message:
[Scene: A bustling marketplace in a modern African city, with vibrant colors, sounds of vendors calling out, and people engaging in lively conversations. The camera focuses on a young woman named Amina, who is anxiously wandering through the market, looking at various shops.]
Amina: (to herself, distressed) I just don’t know what to do. I have so many choices—should I take that job offer, or should I study abroad? What if I make the wrong decision?
[As she walks, Amina spots her friend,Yemisi, who is sitting with a few local artisans, helping them sell their crafts. She notices Amina’s worried expression.]
Yemisi: (calling out) Amina! You look lost. What’s on your mind?
[Amina walks over to her, still fidgeting with her phone.]
Amina: (sighing) I’m trying to figure out my future. I have an opportunity to work at a great company, but there’s also a chance for me to study in Europe. I don’t know what to choose!
[Yemisi looks at her thoughtfully.]
Yemisi: (smiling) Have you prayed about it? Remember Psalm 25:5? “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”
[Amina looks down, reflecting on her tendency to rush decisions.]
Amina: (softly) I haven’t really prayed about it yet. I’ve been too focused on the options.
[Yemisi gestures around the market, where people are happily chatting and enjoying their goods.]
Yemisi: (encouragingly) Sometimes, we get so caught up in what we want that we forget to seek God’s guidance. He knows our paths better than we do.
[Scene shifts to Amina sitting alone at a quiet café later that evening, illuminated by warm evening light. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, praying sincerely.]
Amina: (whispering) God, please guide my decisions. Help me trust in Your plan for my life.
[The camera pans to her praying, looking contemplative yet peaceful. She opens her eyes and pulls out a small notebook where she has been jotting down her thoughts.]
[Cut to a scene of Amina taking a walk along a serene path by a river. She continues to pray, and moments later, her phone buzzes with a message. It’s from her mentor, encouraging her to consider her passions and how they align with her choices.]
[Scene returns to Amina in her room, surrounded by books and papers. She starts making a pros and cons list while reflecting on her prayer. A voiceover captures her thoughts.]
Voiceover: “When we allow God to lead, He shines a light on our path, guiding us toward decisions that align with His purpose.”
[The next day, Amina meets Yemisi and shares her decision with a smile.]
Amina: (brightly) I’ve decided to apply for the job and see where it leads. I have peace about it!
Yemisi: (grinning) That’s awesome! I knew you would find the right choice.
[Scene transitions to Amina in her new office, looking happily engaged in her work. She feels fulfilled and confident, proving that she made the right decision.]
[Voiceover as the camera captures joyful moments at work, interacting with new colleagues and thriving in her role.]
Voiceover: “Trusting in God’s lead allows us to move forward without regret, embracing the journey He has planned for us.”
[Final scene shows Amina returning to the marketplace on the weekend. She strolls through the vibrant stalls, smiling at her friends and vendors, appreciating her life and community.]
Amina: (to herself, smiling) I’m where I’m supposed to be.
[Text appears on the screen:] “Allow God to lead you. Trust in His guidance for a future filled with purpose and peace.”
