Lord, lead me where You want me, not where I want to go, not where feels comfortable or makes sense, but wherever You're directing, wherever You're calling.
I have ideas about where I should be, preferences about where I'd like to go, plans I've made, but I'm surrendering them to follow where You lead instead.
Teach me to value Your direction over my preference, to trust that where You want me is better than where I want myself, that your leading always takes me somewhere good.
Lead me where You want me means I'm releasing my grip on the destination, giving You control of direction, following Your lead even when I don't know where we're going.
Help me recognize your leading when it comes, to distinguish Your voice from my own desires, to know when You're directing me toward something even if it's unexpected or uncomfortable.
Remind me that You lead me for my good and Your glory, that where You want me is where I'll flourish, where I'm needed, where You've prepared work for me to do.
Give me courage to follow where You lead, even when it's different from what I planned, when it requires sacrifice, when it means leaving what's familiar for what's unknown.
Let me walk today, willing to be led anywhere You want me, trusting Your direction, following Your call, going wherever You say because where You lead is where I belong.
Psalm 25:5 ... Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. ❤
