My Prayer

Heavenly Father, guide me on paths of righteousness. Not for my acclaim, but for the glory of Your name. When the road forks and decisions weigh heavy, lead my steps. Illuminate my path with Your truth and grace so that I may walk in the assurance of Your faithful presence. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
