Prayer
(inspired by Joshua
3:7-17)
Lord, at times you
call us to step ahead of others,
like those priests stepping into the River Jordan.
You ask us to pave a way with our own footsteps,
to move with you, in your way, in your time.
like those priests stepping into the River Jordan.
You ask us to pave a way with our own footsteps,
to move with you, in your way, in your time.
Help us to know
that you tread the path with us,
and though we may be fearful
and our steps may be reluctant and faltering,
it is enough that we take one step at a time.
and though we may be fearful
and our steps may be reluctant and faltering,
it is enough that we take one step at a time.
So Lord we commit
this week to you,
and the places we will go,
trusting that you go beside us each day,
wherever we may find ourselves.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
