Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Let us take a moment to sit and rest with Jesus, the spring of living water
We offer you a song and a simple prayer

Today we meditate on the crossroads

A simple prayer for guidance

We stand at a crossroads,
with many paths striking out
across field and glen
from this precipitous point.

Where should we go, Father?
Which path leads to truest life?

We cannot see final destinations,
only the next few steps clearly.
We have no true idea
what might await us
over hill or under foot.

All we can do is trust your Spirit,
our Counsellor for crossroad moments,
our Guide and Shepherd.
Speak to your sheep.

Our own agendas sprout up
like weeds along the way,
inviting stumbles and detours.

Only show us your footprints, Jesus,
and we will walk in them.
Clear the path before you.
Give us courage to pierce
the fear, uncertainty, and doubt
that gnaws away at resolve.

Whatever hinders, Jesus,
strip it away.

Whatever distracts, Jesus,
remove it.

Whatever scares, Jesus,
overcome it.

Be our leader in these days,
the head of our church
and Father of our people;
a cloud by day
and fire by night.

We surrender all
We surrender all
We surrender all

Come Holy Spirit come.
Take us by the hand
and walk

In your mercy, Lord,
hear our prayer.

Amen
