Light in the Darkness

Guidance in the Darkness

“The Lord watches over the path of those who walk with him.”  (Psalm 1: 6)

 

No matter how blind your road the Lord is watching over and guiding you.

 

Lord,

   My path at times seems dark and confusing,

      Yet, I know you are with me holding my hand,

      Watching in the darkness, guiding me into the light.

   Lead me in the darkness,

      Comfort me in the confusion,

      And lead me into the light of your promised life.

Amen

The Secret of a Fruitful Life

“The person who meditates on God’s promises is a like a beautiful and fruitful tree.”  (Psalm 1: 3)

 

You may not be the most gifted but you can be the most fruitful.

 

Father,

   Sometimes I feel like others are so much more gifted.

      Yet, in your power, I know none need be more fruitful.

   Help me to not compare myself to others.

      Instead, content in who you created me to be.

      Filled with your power and all of your fruitfulness.

Amen

A Straight Path Through the Confusion

“I will go before you and make the crooked paths straight.” (Isaiah 45:2)

 

We may have confusing paths to walk.  But God will make them straight.

 

Lord,

Thank you that no matter how crooked my path, you are leading me straight through.

Lead me in the confusion.  Help me recognize your path.  Let me see your guiding hand.

And I will go forward along your straight path because I know you are leading me.

Amen
