My Prayer for Direction

  Send me where I can be used, Lord, choose the path that I am to walk, and guide my footsteps so I will not stray from the direction You have set for me. Show me where I am needed not where I want to be.

 

Though I may desire to take the easiest route, help me to understand that the boulders in the path are put there for my growth.

 

Though I may make mistakes, help me to accept criticism and correction, and turn me from temptation lest I stray from Your way.

 

Give me strength, Lord, to be Your willing servant even when my friends and family try to influence me otherwise.

 

Help me to discern those that are trying to help from those that would hinder me in my service to You.

 

I may yearn for roses and fields of amber grain, but if You choose, Lord, I'll live among the thorns and fields smothered with weeds.

 

Just make me content wherever You plant me so that I may bloom for Your glory, not mine.

 

I put my health, happiness and life into Your hands...and ask only Your blessings, dear Lord, because I know You will.

 

Protect me, Sustain me, And satisfy me throughout the days that I serve You, and that You will take me home to rest when my work on earth is done.


Amen.

 

SALVATION...


Planned by the Father,

Purchased by the Son,

Sealed by the Holy Spirit

 

I've seen the hand of sin in our world, 
and it brought death.

I've tasted of the salvation of the Lord,
 and it brought life!
