Help Us Walk In Your Way

Eternal God, whose paths reach through day and night and encompass the ends of the earth, We thank you that in Jesus Christ you have shown us that you walk beside us every step of our lives!  Often we have run from your presence in selfish pursuits, not knowing that we were removing ourselves from the dearest and the best.  Our feverish and uncertain pace needs the steady rhythm of things that abide.  Where we have sunk in the mire of temptation and have lost our foothold on slippery promises of the world, we need to be drawn to the firm foundations of your Kingdom.  Reach out to us, O Lord, and save us from our own foolishness.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
