A prayer to carry
Father, teach me Your ways and guide me in Your truth. I bring You my plans and the future I cannot see. Forgive the places where I have asked You to bless what I refused to examine. Give me wisdom, honest counsel, and a willing heart. Help me fulfill the responsibilities already before me while I seek direction. Let my hope remain in Jesus rather than a particular outcome. Amen.
