Tag Along

Lord, guide us as we journey into a new season. Help us to discern those You’ve placed in our lives and give us clarity to see with open eyes, hear with open hearts, and walk with steady steps. Sometimes, I see more than I’m prepared for. I see the motives behind the action, fears, and insecurities. I recognize how the flesh can take over, even in my own walk. But it’s time to move forward in faith, leaving behind the old. We can’t live on yesterday’s manna or pour new wine into old wineskins. You’re calling us higher, for greater things. Preparing us to go to higher ground.

As Hinds' feet* Lord, let me not be distracted by the busyness of life, but instead focus on the lessons You want me to learn. Help me to look inward, examine my own heart, and check my motives. Am I pursuing my own interests? Reveal the truth, Lord. I don’t want to go anywhere you haven’t prepared me for, or go where your anointing will not sustain me. Keep me faithful, available, and teachable, knowing that as Your daughter, I have an inheritance to claim. Teach me to serve with purity of heart, seeking Your interests and not my own. I serve you, not man. Thank you for speaking to my soul and for teaching me the language of the heart. Open my eyes to be able to see better and become aware of what surrounds me. Help me to apply what I share, let it not just be words that will be forgotten tomorrow. Not lip service, but words from a heart surrendered to you.
