Most Loving Lord, I am so thankful that the light of Your Word shines brightly in my life showing me the way I should go. As I travel down the road of life, it is You who will lead me … when I sleep, it is You who will keep me safe … and when I awake, Your light will guide me through the darkness that I face. For Your commandments are a lamp and Your laws are a light showing me the way to righteous living. If I take Your words into my heart and make them my own, the chances of my succumbing to sin will go down. I am confident that, if I walk in the illumination of Your Word, I will be warned of the pitfalls that lie ahead and I will reap the blessings of a life lived for You. You have shared with me Your precious promises to enrich my life and show me how to become a partaker in Your divine nature. Help me, O Lord, and show me the way to escape the corruption of the world.
The only way to eliminate my sinful ways is to take heed to the wisdom in Your Word and listen intently to the advice You offer in our times together. I know that as I learn to abide in Your words, I am really learning to abide in You. As I learn the meaning of Your words, I am learning the ways of truth and they will guide me by their light. I rejoice in the fact that Your words encourage me and are my counselors showing me the path to righteousness. I know that if I walk in the light of Your revelations, my steps will be ordered by You and my outcomes will lead to prosperity and victories over evil. I am confident that, if I follow Your leading, You will instruct me and teach me all I need to know to be successful. As I follow in Your footsteps, Your eyes watch out for my well-being and show me where it is safe to walk. It is You alone who restores me and leads me in paths of righteousness so that I can bring You praise and honor.
As I draw closer to You, I hear You saying “This is the way, walk in it”. And, whenever I turn to the right or the left, You show me the way I should go. You speak to me through friends, church elders and teachers who shine light into my world when it fills with darkness. Whenever I face adversity, it is You who shows me the way to peace. As I read, study and meditate on Your Word daily, it is like a medicine healing the wounds of disappointments, the bruises left by life’s struggles and the pain of regrets for poor choices. As I listen to Your urgings and encouragement, I know You will make my way clear and I will have successes in whatever You direct me. I believe that the Scriptures were given to me to increase my understanding of the way You want me to live. Therefore, I accept Your guidance as the light that will equip me to deal with anything I face. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
