Along The Best Pathway

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
    I will advise you and watch over you.

Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
    that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”

—Psalm 32:8-9 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Show me the best way through life, as I submit to Your will and allow You to guide me in love and with all wisdom.

I don’t want to fight against You, like a senseless or stubborn horse or mule, and have to endure the discipline that results from my disobedience or the consequences of having gone my own way.

Help me to remember that the path You lead me down is the best way for me to go—the way that will keep me safe and the direction in which I will find my every need is met.

Don’t allow me to forget that provision, peace and joy awaits all those who willingly seek out Your counsel and obey Your instruction.

Show me the best way through life, as I submit to Your will and allow You to guide me in love and with all wisdom.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
