Thoughts on Today’s Verse
“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground” – Psalm 143:10. This verse touches my soul like a gentle whisper. It feels like a prayer coming straight from my heart, seeking divine guidance. After all, life can be a rough climb sometimes, right? We all have steep hills to face, and rocky paths to walk. In these moments, I sometimes find myself wishing for a map, a guide. That’s when God steps in.
Isn’t it amazing to know that we can ask God to teach us His will? His guidance doesn’t always arrive as a thundering proclamation from the heavens, but often in the subtleties of life an unplanned encounter, a spark of inspiration, a sudden sanctuary of serenity. It is God’s spirit, drawing us to stable ground.
He guides us tenderly, in harmony with that heartfelt desire residing within us all – to lead a virtuous, purposeful life. It invites a tranquil comfort, doesn’t it? Knowing that regardless of your path’s roughness, God is always present, prepared to steer you and enlighten you with His will. It’s as if He whispers, “You’re never alone.
Trust in me. Have faith in my will. Let me illuminate your path.
My Prayer
Dear Lord, teach me to do your will. Guide my thoughts and actions so they align with your divine plan. Open my heart and mind to discern your gentle nudges in my daily life. Let me discover your guiding hand in the smallest miracles and vast wonders that surround me.
When the climb of life becomes sharp and the paths seem obscure, console me with the constant reminder of your unyielding presence. Empower me with the strength to trust in You wholeheartedly, to bravely place one foot in front of the other, firmly believe in your divine blueprint for my life. You are my beacon in the storm, my calm in the chaos.
Illuminate my path, Lord. Scatter light upon the complexities and uncertainties of life. May your good Spirit steer me, unwaveringly, on level ground. Make my journey through life not simply tolerable, but filled with joy and beauty. I am eternally grateful for Your guidance and for being my God.
Amen.
