Reflection

Heavenly Father, walk with me today,

and grant that I hear Your footsteps

and gladly follow where they lead.

Talk with me today and grant that I may hear

Your tender Voice,

and quicken to its counsel.

Stay with me today and grant that I may feel

Your gentle presence in all I do and think.

Be my strength when I an weak,

my courage when I fear.
