Opening Prayer: Father, you alone know what lies before me
this day, grant that in every hour of it I may stay close to you. Let me today embark on no undertaking that is
not in line with your will for my life, nor shrink from any sacrifice which
your will may demand. Suggest, direct,
control, every movement of my mind; for my Lord Christ’s sake. Amen. (A Diary of Private Prayer by
John Baillie)
Scripture: Jeremiah 33:1-3
Journal: Who do you normally call on first when you are in need
of guidance or direction? What would it
look like to take this verse to heart?
Reflection:
Christian life is ultimately this yielding to what
God is doing in us through the Spirit of Christ. It is the Spirit’s activity, yet, in a
mysterious way, it is also truly our own. (The Journey Within by
Kathryn J. Hermes)
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Lord, be the first direction I turn when I am
in need of guidance or clarity. Help me
to trust in your promise that when I call on you, you will show me great and hidden
things that I do not know. Amen.
