Light in our doubts

A compass with no needle sits open on a table at dawn, and instead a single beam of sunlight through the window falls across it pointing the way forward.

God, you guide humble people to judge rightly, and for those who love you, light rises in the darkness. In all our doubts and uncertainties, give us the grace to ask what you want us to do. Let your Spirit of wisdom save us from every wrong choice, so that in your light we see light, and on your straight path we don’t stumble. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

Psalm 25:9 (BSB)
