Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Psalm 25:4-5
All-Wise God,
You know that every morning
I look at my weather app
to help me plan for my day—
how to dress,
where to work out,
when to walk my dog.
So many of us seek guidance for life
in little metal and glass boxes—
scanning the news headlines,
scrolling through social media,
seeking peace for our worries
and guidance for living.
Help us, Lord!
Draw us to the truth
that teaches and leads us
to your holiness, kindness,
and grace.
Your Word instructs sinners (Psalm 25:8);
your Word shows us how to walk on your path,
the path of “steadfast love and faithfulness” (Psalm 25:10).
Your Word teaches the humble your way (Psalm 25:9).
Your Word shows us the way we should choose—
what to do about that problem at work,
how to show our children love through discipline,
who to ask about help with depression and anxiety…
Lord, you have already turned to us
and been so very gracious to us
through the Living Word,
your Son, our Savior.
May we find comfort in affliction
and companionship in loneliness
as we embrace your wonderful Word.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Read Psalm 25.
