🙏 A Prayer for Guidance

Father,

Guide my life to heavenly Jerusalem.

Lead me on the path that leads to You.

Keep my feet from stumbling.

Keep my eyes fixed on the eternal city.

I am a pilgrim in this world,

Traveling through a land that is not my home.

My heart longs for the place You have prepared for me—

A place of peace, of rest, of unending joy in Your presence.

When the road is hard, give me strength.

When the way is unclear, give me light.

When I grow weary, renew my hope.

I trust You with every step.

I trust You with my future.

I trust You to bring me home.

"They were longing for a better country—a heavenly one." (Hebrews 11:16)

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
