The Way-maker

The Way–maker by John W. Ritenbaugh

“It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will march with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken in spirit—depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm,” Deuteronomy 31:8.

Jesus, You are the Way and You are the way-maker. I will follow You as You go before me and prepare the way for what is ahead in Your plan.

I know that You will see to every detail so that what needs to be done will already be done before I arrive…the path revealed, the direction confirmed, the way established. I trust in You to unlock the doors that need to be opened, loosen the things that need to be untied, and remove the hindrances that need to be taken away.

I ask You to provide for all that is needed as I walk along your appointed path. Open my eyes to see the way You are leading, give me the understanding to take the right steps, strengthen me with the patience to move at the right pace, and work within my words and actions to say and do things in the right way.

I trust in You to do what no one else can do, in ways that no one else can work, doing the wonders no one else can perform. Lord, I thank You that You will make a way!

Our Father is always trying to get us to the place of spiritual discovery… God has challenging futures for us.—William Brattle Oliver

God will make a way where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. —Don Moen
