A prayer to pray now
Lord, Your Word says You led Your people on a straight road to a place where they could live. Sometimes I want the curvy road because it looks more fun. But You know what I really need. You lead me on the right path, even when it feels slow and boring. I trust the road You picked for me. Help me stay on it instead of running off to do my own thing. Amen.
