Psalm 143:8
Let me experience 
your faithful love in the morning, 
for I trust in you. 
Reveal to me the way I should go 
because I appeal to you. (CSB)

If you wake me each morning with the sound of your loving voice,
I’ll go to sleep each night trusting in you.
Point out the road I must travel;
I’m all ears, all eyes before you. (The Message)

Morning and evening, 
and all along the way
Our Father in heaven 
Shows us the way. 

This is the kind of prayer God loves to answer. It appeals to God’s defining characteristic: his faithful love, his love that endures forever. 

This prayer begins with trust, rests in trust, travels in trust, and trustingly depends on God for clear direction and certain provision.

This prayer clearly guides us in knowing and doing God’s will. It’s as simple as asking him for direction and walking the path he places us on. Every step is directed by his grace, empowered by his presence, and leads us farther into his purpose for our day’s work and our life’s meaning. 

It sounds all too simple. It sounds too good to be true. Yet it’s the kind of life Jesus lived as he walked from one village to another addressing the needs along the way and providing words of truth and life in real-time conversations. 

My calendar and To-Do List provide me with responsibilities aplenty. God’s steps lead me into meaning, purpose, and mission. He is shaping me day by day with his amazing grace. He is working through me to share his kindness and compassion. 

Rich and rewarding change happens when God’s faithful love meets our focused trust. 

Our Father in Heaven has awakened us in his faithful love. He has laid out a path before us. He provides all we need to bless others as he has blessed us. Let us walk with him in faith and trust. Keep your eyes and ears open expectantly. God is about to answer our prayers.
