Light for the Path
(based on Psalm 1 1 9 :1 05 -1 1 2 , 1 83 4 )
Your Word, O God, is a lamp for our feet
and a light for our journey.
When everything around us is dark, and we can see no light at all,
may the light from Your Word show us the way to go.
When the future is uncertain, and we can’t see what lies ahead,
may the light from Your Word show us the way to go.
When we feel abandoned or betrayed, and have no one to turn to,
may the light from Your Word show us the way to go.
When we are tempted to do what we know is wrong,
may the light from Your Word show us the way to go.
Open our eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your Word.
Give us understanding,
that we may keep Your law,
and put it into practice in our lives.
Amen.
