His footsteps become our pathway as He leads us in the paths of righteousness.

“Uphold my steps in Your paths,
That my footsteps may not slip. I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,
O You who save those who trust in You.” ~ Psalm 17:5-7

Lord, You are the light of the world. In You there is no darkness. Your Word is a lamp to our feet lighting our way. You promise when we follow in Your footsteps we will not walk in darkness.

When We Follow His Footsteps We Will Not Walk In Darkness

So why do I get tripped up trying to follow You? More than anything, I desire to obey You in all things, to magnify Your Name. I desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a hurting world.

But some days I’m filled with uncertainty about the steps I’m taking — the direction I’m heading. That uncertainty is not from You. You make clear Your paths.

Make us brave to follow your footsteps as we hear the call of righteousness.
Make us brave to follow your footsteps as we hear the call of righteousness.

You lead us by Your peace.

Your voice comes from behind telling us to turn to the left or to the right.

Your footsteps become our pathway as You lead us in the paths of righteousness.

And if by chance we get lost or become too weary to continue on, You promise to carry us as a father who carries his son in the wilderness.

In a desert land You find us and spread Your wings to catch us when we fall.

You alone lead us.

You alone are faithful..

I’m the one who isn’t.

Open My Eyes to See Your Footsteps Clearer

Open my eyes to see Your footsteps clearer. Help me trust You more. You rarely tell us the what, why, when, where, and how. That’s on us. But trust steps out in faith, even when the way seems blurry.

You light the way one footstep at a time. You teach us to hear and know Your voice. Make us brave to follow as we hear the call of righteousness and recognize Your footsteps before us.

Yes, Lord, make us brave.

And tenacious.

In Jesus’s Name I pray,

Amen
