Morning prayer · 12 March

Through every difficulty

A pair of old boots standing by the door at first light, laces loose and ready, with the day's uneven road just visible beyond the threshold.

God, make your way clear in front of us, and hold us up today through all the difficulties we’ll meet. We offer ourselves to you today, God, for you to do in us and with us whatever you think best. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

Psalm 5:8 (BSB)
