PRAYER
Thank you, God, for teaching us the truth. You could have left us in the dark but you didn't. You share and make your truth, indeed, yourself, accessible. How is it that I'm so inclined to attempt travel while ignoring directions? Grant me purity of heart so that I may honor you while living according to your truth. I'm going to move forward as an enlightened traveler. Amen.
