Walking Closely After You



You shall walk after the Lord your God and you shall fear [and worship] Him [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect], and you shall keep His commandments and you shall listen to His voice, and you shall serve Him, and cling to Him.

—Deuteronomy 13:4 (AMP)


O LORD My God,


Let me walk after You all the days of my life!  Be for me the only God I fear and worship—the God I obey, the God I listen to, the God I serve, and the God I cling to always!


Help me only go down paths that You lead me down—as I walk closely after You—and not go wandering off on my own.

Help me always worship You in reverential awe of who You are, Your infinite and delivering power, and Your unfailing love for me—and not allow myself to become afraid of anything that looms before me, whether man, demon, or circumstance.

Help me to be careful to obey all Your commands and instructions—knowing that You have given them to me so I might live in the peace, provision and protection that can only come from Your hand.

Help me to listen to Your voice alone—and silence the many “voices” of this world which would try to pull my attention away from You.

Help me to examine my thoughts, words, and actions to ensure that everything that I do is in service to You—that it is done from pure and right motives in order to bring glory to Your Name.

Help me to cling to You with all of my heart, mind and strength—and allow no temptation to overcome me and separate me from You.


Let me walk after You all the days of my life!  Be for me the only God I fear and worship—the God I obey, the God I listen to, the God I serve, and the God I cling to always!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
