Help Us Follow In Your Way

Lord, we know that the way you ask us to travel in life is not always easy.  There are times of sickness; times of great loss; times when we are afraid to speak up and be couhnted; times when the challenges of the day are bigger than we can handle.  But we know you would not have asked us to follow if you did not intend to be there with us, to help us through.  When we falter in our faith because of human weakness, reach out to us in your strength and uphold us.  When we lose heart, fill us with your Spirit.  When we become lost, call us like a shepherd calls his sheep that we may hear and return to your.  You are the light of the world, and no matter how hard the evil one has tried, darkness has never overcome it.  Help us always to be mindful of that truth.  Lead on, O King Eternal, and we will follow in your way.  In Jesus' Name we do pray.  Amen.
