You show me the pathway that leads to life.

PRAYER
Leader God, I'm grateful that you guide us along a pathway that is full of life. I admit, though, that I'm too used to leading my own life. Receiving direction and guidance is hard for me because I don't want to relinquish control or appear like I don't know what I'm doing. Give me the will and humility to release control of my life into your hands. I really do want to travel on the pathway of life. Amen.

and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
