Teach Me, Lead Me, Along the Level Ground of Your Unfailing Love


Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

—Psalm 143:10 (NIV)


Gracious LORD,


Teach me to do Your will, and by Your good Spirit lead me!  For You are my God—the One who leads me on level ground, ever unfolding before me Your very best plans and purposes for my life.


Help me to overcome my great tendency to be self-centered and self-willed—to do only what I want to do—and then expect You to bless my plans and cause my self-serving purposes to succeed.

Show me how to set aside my own will and trust You to direct my steps according to Your will—according to Your very best for me—knowing that only by submitting myself to Your will can I ever hope to bring You honor and glory with my life.

Lead me, by Your good and gracious Holy Spirit, so I might walk uprightly along the level ground of Your unfailing love—on that path of willing obedience that You have called me to travel.


Teach me to do Your will, and by Your good Spirit lead me!  For You are my God—the One who leads me on level ground, ever unfolding before me Your very best plans and purposes for my life.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
