Lead Us Lord


“And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”

 

-Exodus 13:21-

 

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

 

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  We ask that you will lead us, dear Lord, by your spirit, and with your guidance.  We want to follow you in our lives.  We know that by you leading us, we must, hear and listen to your voice.  We are led by you to the still waters (calmness of life).  We know that you will lead us in the path of righteousness for your name sake.  We know that you will lead us in truth, and will teach us your ways, because you are the God of our salvation.  We know that you will lead us on the plain path and in the land of the up righteous, so that our enemies will see your goodness. There are decisions that we bring before you, and we need your guidance for our decisions. There are times we face challenges in choosing and making the right choices, that will please your will, but instead we please our flesh. So God, help us, and bring light (clarity) to the very uncertain place (decisions) that has caused our eyes to become dim, even though, you have already given us the answer.  Just as you led, the Israelites through the wilderness, God lead us as we go through our seasons of wilderness.  We want you to lead us to and through your grace.  We want you to lead us into the fullness of joy, which is everlasting.  We want you to continue to lead us to our destiny, and fulfilling our purpose on earth.  We want you to lead us to eternal life. We are in agreement with Lyricist, Doris Atkers, song, “Lead me (us), guide me (us) along the way, Lord if you lead me (us), I (we) will not stray.”

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Your Servants
