Where we start, and our call to where we have been invited, are two different places. We must make the journey from where we are to where we are going. The contrite heart and the one who repents begins the journey. You have been invited upon this journey and it is ever deeper, for who can know the depth and breadth of the sin the lurks under the shadow? Come to the Lord and He will make you clean.
Lord, bolstered by those around me, I often hide and believe I am better than most, yet it is not better, but perfection that You desire. Guide me along the paths of righteousness for Your namesake that I would walk where You lead. Guide me in the way I should go and help me follow where Your Spirit leads. Make me whiter than snow through Your grace that Your will would be done.
Lord Jesus, You have come to prepare the way for all those who would follow in grace where You lead. Guide me O Lord in the way I should go and keep me from veering from the path You have before me. Teach me to trust in all that You have promised and to stop second guessing where I am and where I need to go. Lead me Lord and grant grace for me to follow. Amen.
