I can’t start my day, Lord Jesus, without first turning to You. I need Your promised help to be able to see things through.

I need to know You’ll be walking with me, steadying me on my feet, to handle any challenges today that I might possibly meet.

Of course, I know Your assurances, as written to us in Your Word; but folding my hands in prayer to You reassures me that You’ve heard.

I’m relying on You for strength and peace and a faith that won’t retreat. On paths my feet will tread, may I “see” beside my own, Your sandaled feet.

P. A. Oltrogge
