This Foreign Land

I am only a foreigner in the land.
    Don’t hide your commands from me!

—Psalm 119:19 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Reveal to me the truth of Your commands, so I can find my way through this foreign land—both accomplishing Your plan for me here and finding my way home to You.

This earth is not my home.  But while I am here I want to be used to bring glory to You. 

I ask that You would open up the truth of Your Word to me and reveal to me the depths meaning that are found in Your commands, so I can walk in the safety, provision and protection of Your instructions and not find myself lost in a world that would destroy me.

Help me not to wander aimlessly on this earth, but with attention to Your directions, follow the perfect path that You have planned for me from before time began.

Reveal to me the truth of Your commands, so I can find my way through this foreign land—both accomplishing Your plan for me here and finding my way home to You.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
