Prayer to follow the Lord
Comments(0) Isaiah 26:7-9, 12
The way of the righteous is level; O Just One, you make smooth the path of the righteous. In the path of your judgements, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and your renown are the soul’s desire. My soul yearns for you in the night, my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. O Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for indeed, all that we have done, you have done for us.
Like Isaiah, I wait for the Lord. I know that in waiting I can become impatient, disheartened or inattentive. I bring what I desire and yearn for it before God, asking for blessing.
I think of all that I have done, considering the achievements of which I am proud. I turn to God with thanks as I pray, ‘All that I have done, you have done for me.’
