A Prayer to Walk by


Eternal Father of my Lord Jesus Christ,
How do I want to walk?
First, I have to get up right, upright.
Then, make sure my feet are shod with peace.
Then, make sure I am watching where I put those feet.
That will require a regular use of the word of light,
And the discipline to put one foot in front of the other on
That day's path.
How do I want to walk?
With care and with wisdom,
With humility and for service,
Coming alongside to help,
Never faster than the Lord gives me light.
How do I want to walk?
I want to walk in such a way as to be fruitful,
Bearing the fruit of the Spirit,
Glorifying You in that,
Willing to be pruned by Your hand,
Willing to be in whatever season of life You put me.

Ps. 92:12-15
The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God.
They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
